 |  Stephen Cooke | Richard Grubaugh | Jane McCahon | Natalie Hairston |

Attendees will learn about key corporate governance issues and regulations that are looming. It’s hard enough to stay on top of a robust IR program, not to mention the myriad of forthcoming corporate governance initiatives. Today’s IROs face a wide array of complex tasks, and corporate governance, in particular, overlaps into investor relations duties and functions. Why has governance become such an integral part of investor relations, and vice versa? How did we get to this point? Part I of the workshop will help answer these questions, and offer the “nuts and bolts” of corporate governance, including its benefits and key principles.
