Role, Responsibilities, and Process for the Compensation Committee

As executive compensation has steadily increased since the early 1990s, so has scrutiny of pay and the number of compensation standards intended to contain the growth of pay. Dodd-Frank’s imposition of Say-on-Pay in 2011 has been followed up with a host of disclosure rules culminating in the “Pay-vs-Performance” requirement implemented in 2022 and the enhanced ‘Clawback’ rule in 2023. The spotlight on Compensation Committees has not dimmed. Regulations and policies are proliferating from both the formal regulators at the SEC and the proxy advisory firms that serve as informal regulators of corporate governance. Through all these changes, Committees have had to retain their focus on the principal function of the Board, which is to support value creation at the companies they oversee.

In this program, we cover what directors need to know to be an effective Compensation Committee Member or Chair, including:

Beyond the basics, will cover select topics such as:

Expect an intense exploration of Compensation Committee details along with time to interact with other top-tier Board candidates, public company Board faculty, and Compensation/Governance expert faculty.
