Equilar and Nasdaq recently hosted the Board Leadership Forum in San Francisco and the Compensation Committee Forum in New York City. This feature presents key highlights and snapshots from the two events.
Investors’ emphasis on board transparency, accountability and independence is intensifying, and as a result, today’s boards face a seemingly never-ending set of risks, governance decisions and strategic initiatives.
With these trends in mind, the Board Leadership Forum featured panels on the impact of technology and innovation on the boardroom, CEO and board succession planning, and shareholder outreach strategies. In addition, the Equilar Diversity Network hosted a post-event dinner to help connect sitting and aspiring board members.
Meanwhile, the goal of the Compensation Committee Forum is to help compensation committees—and the members of management who work closely with them—establish and execute a compensation and benefits program that meets both management’s and investors’ expectations.
Expert panelists covered how to set up new executive employment deals that also benefit shareholders, manage risk for incentive plans and find best practices to communicate with investors, especially around the CEO pay ratio in 2018.
