Compensation Committee Chair Advisory Council
In support of a sustainable, profitable, and thriving corporate America, the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) created the Compensation Committee Chair Advisory Council. Since 2011 this council has brought experienced compensation committee chairs from Fortune 500 companies together with key shareholder representatives, regulators, and other stakeholders to discuss ways to strengthen corporate governance in general and the work of the compensation committee in particular.
Farient Advisors LLC collaborates with NACD in convening and leading this council.
Confidential
Meetings and teleconferences are conducted under a modified version of the Chatham House Rule to maintain an environment for candid dialogue. No outside media is present at advisory council meetings. All delegates participate on their own behalf.
Cost
There is no cost associated with council participation other than travel expenses.
Commitment
Conversation is ongoing, punctuated by semi-annual meetings, typically from 8:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., in Washington, D.C. or New York City. Debrief conference calls for non-attending delegates follow each in-person meeting.
