Given the rapid pace of change in the regulatory and legislative areas, incoming board members will face far greater challenges in carrying out their responsibilities than their predecessors. The June 7th New Director Summit brought together a highly esteemed group of 50 recently appointed directors, committee chairs, corporate secretaries, lead directors, and CEOs who participated in a series of roundtables on corporate governance best practices. Farient Advisors' Executive Chair, Robin Ferracone, and Senior Vice President, Todd Gershkowitz, hosted roundtables on new directives in compensation. The most discussed topics during the roundtables included:
- Pay and performance alignment - more important than ever
- Short-term vs. long-term performance
- Board of Director compensation
- Pay design and structure vs. how a compensation committee functions (consistency)
- Compensation Consultants - part of the problem, or part of the solution
