"It is always an honor to host this distinguished event," said David Pyke, dean of USD’s School of Business Administration. "The gathering attracts speakers and attendees who are thought leaders in corporate governance, and it creates a dynamic environment to learn about the opportunities and challenges facing corporations and regulators."

  • Phil Angelides, chairman, Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission 
  • Robert C. Doll, chief equity strategist, BlackRock 
  • Ira M. Millstein, senior partner, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP
  • Anne M. Mulcahy, former chairman and CEO, Xerox Corp.; director, Target Corp., Johnson & Johnson

Brands); Laban Jackson (JP Morgan); Steve Rosenblum (Wachtell Lipton); Anne Simpson (CalPERS); Richard Koppes (National Association of Public Pension Attorneys); Lee Mitau (U.S. Bancorp); Damon Silvers (AFL-CIO, TARP); Patrick McGurn (Institutional Shareholder Services); Margaret Foran (Prudential); David Batchelder (Relational Investors LLC); Lynn Turner (LECG, Colorado Public Employees’ Retirement Association); Kenneth Daly (National Association of Corporate Directors); and Robert Herz (Financial Accounting Standards Board), and many others.

"We’re excited to hear directly from high-caliber speakers on a wide range of issues critical to today’s business leaders," said Larry Stambaugh, program chairman. "The intimate setting, combined with the event being in sunny San Diego, makes it an excellent environment to network with and learn from the nation’s top leaders in corporate governance."
