Summit D & O Training Conference

Last Friday we wrapped up the Summit 2008 Director and Officer Training Conference. Diversified is a major sponsor of the conference and puts a lot of manpower behind the conference each year. It is now in its eighth year and I have to say that it was in my opinion the best yet. Our down economy did not lead to the attendance increases we have seen in the past but attendance was strong and the line-up of both presenters and attendees was outstanding.

Doyle Arnold, CFO Zions Bancorporation led off speaking about Leadership in Turbulent Times.

George Feiger, CEO Contango Capital Advisors, gave the clearest explanation I have yet heard of the fundamentals underpinning the Financial Crisis we are going through.

Peter Gleason, Chair of the NACD gave an outstanding presentation on Board Management’s responsibility in detecting board oversight problems within a corporation.

All in all, it was one outstanding conference. It is accredited by ISS and also provided CLE and CPE for the attorneys and accountants needing those continuing education credits. All I can say is Wow, you really needed to be there.
