Welcome Remarks
12:10 PM – 1:10 PM
Onboarding New Compensation Committee Members
In the process of onboarding hew compensation committee members, the board must carefully balance the historical fundamentals with “new age” topics. Because of the critical role that the Comp committee (Committee) plays in establishing and overseeing an executive compensation program, new Committee members must be carefully and strategically onboarded using a detailed step-by-step process and clear communication. In this discussion, Ani Huang, President of the Center On Executive Compensation, moderates a panel on best practices for selecting, transitioning, onboarding and educating new Committee members.
1:10 PM – 2:10 PM
Incentive Plan Design
The level of scrutiny on incentive-based compensation, performance measures, and pay out curves has never been higher. Metric evaluation and stress testing are critical aspects of building an effective incentive plan. In this discussion, the panel will offer a holistic framework and best practices for metric selection, stress testing, and how to build a risk-minded culture.

How to Manage Unplanned Departures
Naming a successor to the CEO is one of the board’s primary functions and a sudden departure can create havoc for management and the board. Important proactive steps must be taken to prepare for the unexpected. Join us for a discussion on the critical role of the Compensation Committee as part of the strategic CEO succession plan.
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Shareholder Engagement
A hot topic for many years, shareholder engagement continues to be an important tool for companies and investors. Recently, the spotlight has been on the board, specifically independent directors and chairs of nom/gov and comp committees, to engage with investors directly. This panel will showcase several specific examples of robust engagement campaigns.
