    Tuesday, February 23 - Tuesday, February 23 | 6 - 8 p.m.

    Peter R. Gleason, Managing Director & CFO, NACD - Board Leadership in a New Environment

    New regulation and legislation could dramatically change the dynamics in the boardroom and realign the relationships among boards, CEO’s and shareowners. The fallout from the financial and economic crisis has bolstered a push for more shareowner power in the boardroom and greater accountability for directors. What do you need to know? What can boards do to ensure high performance? Will legislation and regulation restore public trust, or will it take more? Peter Gleason, Managing Director and CFO for the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD), will discuss how the current economic crisis has eroded public and investor confidence in corporate governance and what action American corporations must take to restore the public’s trust; and share the current legislative actions taking place on the Hill and the potential impact on boards going forward. Mr. Gleason is a frequent presenter on the subjects of corporate governance, executive and director compensation, hostile corporate transactions, board evaluation, and strategic planning. He has appeared on CNBC’s SquawkBox and PowerLunch, Reuters TV, NPR’s Marketplace, and is regularly quoted in the national media.

    Stephen M. R. Covey - Author of The Speed of Trust & Co-Founder and CEO of CoveyLink Worldwide - The Speed of Trust

    The Speed of Trust challenges our age-old assumption that trust is merely a soft, social virtue and instead demonstrates that trust is a hard-edged, economic driver - a learnable and measureable skill that makes organizations more profitable, people more promotable, and relationships more energizing. In his fast-paced and engaging presentation, Stephen M. R. Covey will dramatically reveal TRUST as the hidden variable that will become your most leverageable tool, fueling your current strategic imperatives. They call it "Leading at the SPEED of TRUST." By framing Trust in a new light, Covey will make the business and economic case for trust, show how the ability to generate trust is the critical leadership competency in this new global economy, and demonstrate how to master the skill of engendering trust both personally and in your organization.
