Another exciting year has passed in the world of governance, and perhaps the greatest challenge for Corporate Secretaries in 2009 was complying with the new Executive Compensation disclosure rules. We welcome three outstanding speakers to provide their insight and expertise as to the challenges issuers faced in complying with these new rules. We will also be discussing "Say on Pay" trends in Canada, which is certain to be another "hot topic" in 2010.
