Intensive: Rethinking Executive Compensation Strategy

This advanced session is designed to provide experienced directors with additional tools and insights to engage in more effective strategic thinking and execution on matters of executive compensation.   The panel will review the latest trends in compensation, best practices for compensation committee process, the outcome of the first year of CEO pay ratio analysis, outlier say-on-pay voting results and litigation, and the changing opinions (and power) of proxy advisory firms on matters of executive compensation.  We will explore and explain changes that some boards have adopted to constrain or “re-align” CEO pay, review the latest novel compensation strategies designed to retain and excite talented executives, and highlight the latest developments in drafting the CD&A, including (if time allows) how best to disclose director compensation details.
