SUMMARY:Spring 2016 Directors Academy
DESCRIPTION: \n\nDIRECTORS ACADEMY\n\nTUESDAY\, MAY 17\, 2016 - 1 - 5 P.M. 
 WEDNESDAY\, MAY 18\, 2016 - 9 A.M. -\n5 P.M.\n\nSESSION I – 2016 PROXY S
 EASON: THE STAKEHOLDER PERSPECTIVE\n\nIn 2015\, the continuing increase in
  various stakeholders influence\nover governance of a corporation was a ke
 y trend and is likely to\ndrive how companies respond to other shareholder
  initiatives in 2016.\nLong-term institutional investors focused on topics
  like shareholder\nrights and board composition\, as evidenced by their su
 pport for\nshareholder proposals for proxy access and majority voting. In\
 ncontrast\, hedge funds were focused on achieving actual board\ncompositio
 n change to help further their specific near-term financial\ngoals. Regard
 less of the investor\, keeping an open line of dialogue is\nkey as a board
  of directors.\n\nSUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS:\n\n * Ellen Grady\, Member\, Coz
 en O’Conner\n * Ron Schneider\, Director of Corporate Governance Service
 s\, RR\nDonnelley Global Capital Markets\n\nSESSION II – EXECUTIVE COMPE
 NSATION: A BOARDROOM DIALOGUE\n\nExecutive compensation may be the board r
 esponsibility most\nscrutinized by investors\, the media\, and other stake
 holders.\nStakeholders have extensive visibility into executive remunerati
 on\nlevels\, but perhaps a more limited understanding of the complexity\nd
 irectors face as they try to get it “right.” Boards must balance\nmany
  factors in reaching compensation decisions — attracting and\nretaining 
 top talent while encouraging behaviors that will achieve\nlong-term shareh
 older value. Also\, the issue of CEO succession —\nwhether planned or un
 planned — and offers advice for boards to\nconsider as they deal with ex
 ecutive compensation.\n\nSUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS:\n\n * Catherine Sohn\, In
 dependent Director\, Jazz Pharma\, Landec Corp\,\nNeuralstem\n * Alyse Bod
 ine\, Partner-In-Charge Philadelphia\, Heidrick & Struggles\n * Anthony J.
  Conti\, Retired Managing Partner\, PwC\n\nLUNCH SESSION\n\nCyber overview
  and the board’s role in cyber oversight\n\nSUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS:\n\n

 ce Murphy\, Principal – Technology Risk Services\, Deloitte &\nTouche LL
 P\n\nSESSION III – THE ROLE OF AUDIT & RISK IN STRATEGY\n\nToday’s com
 panies face a vast array of risks — both known and\nunexpected. Some ris
 ks turn into crises that have significant\nimplications for operations or 
 even a company’s future. Given this\nsetting\, it’s a challenge for bo
 ards to feel comfortable that a risk\nis addressed appropriately — but i
 t’s a critical responsibility.\nBoards frequently delegate elements of r
 isk oversight to the audit\ncommittee\; but ultimately\, the responsibilit
 y for risk oversight\nresides with the full board\, and each director shou
 ld understand the\nkey risks facing the company.\n\nSUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS
 :\n\n * Trish Oelrich\, Director\, Federal Home Loan Bank\n * Kirk Gorman\
 , Retired Executive Vice President\, Chief Financial\nOfficer\, Thomas Jef
 ferson University and Jefferson Health System\n * Robert Grasso\, Audit Pa
 rtner\, Deloitte LLP\n\nSESSION IV – A SEAT AT THE TABLE\n\nComposition 
 and leadership are critical in supporting a board’s\nability to carry ou
 t its responsibilities effectively. Boards need the\nright combination of 
 skills and experience — and to be alert to the\nfact that the “right
 ” combination changes over time. They also\nneed a leader who will ensur
 e the board effectively discharges its\nresponsibilities and a process tha
 t engages directors most\nproductively. During this session\, led by sitti
 ng CEOs and corporate\ndirectors\, participant will engage panelists in a 
 discussion centered\naround board culture and conversations currently taki
 ng place in the\nboardroom.\n\nSUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS:\n\n * Tanuja Dehne\
