It is now less than three weeks to Guerdon Associates and CGI Glass Lewis’ 15^th Annual Remuneration and Governance Forum.

The event is invitation only. Invitations have been sent to company directors, institutional investors, regulators and company executives. If you are one of these, and have not received an invitation, please contact us at info@www.guerdonassociates.com.

We have already had a few questions around whether attendees can access the content after the event if calendars are too full. Unfortunately the answer is no. Because the event is being held under Chatham House rules we will not be recording. So make sure you register and keep space free in your diary. In the event that this is not possible, we will summarise discussion points for our next newsletter, although with care for no attribution.

To recap, the event is being held via webinar over two afternoons (23^rd March and 30^th March at 1:30pm AEDT).

We are pleased to confirm the following panellists and debaters:

–       Philip Chronican, Chairman, NAB

–       Christine O’Reilly, NED of BHP, Stockland and Medibank

–       Graeme Hunt, Chairman AGL and BIS Industries

–       Debra Hazelton, Chairman, AMP

–       Richard Goyder AO, Chairman of the AFL Commission, Woodside and Qantas

–       Debby Blakey, CEO HESTA
