The third installment of the conference will examine mechanisms and agents for rebalancing corporate governance in the interest of promoting racial equity. This session will explore questions of defining corporate purpose and best practices, the role of disclosure requirements, executive compensation incentives, and the roles of directors, investors, proxy advisory firms, and general counsel in addressing racial equity. Lisa Fairfax (Alexander Hamilton Professor of Business Law and Director of the GW Corporate Law and Governance Institute, George Washington University Law School) and Omari Scott Simmons (Howard L. Oleck Professor of Business Law and Director of Business Law Program, Wake Forest Law School) will moderate the discussion with:
- Keir Gumbs, Associate General Counsel, Global Corporate, M&A and Securities and Deputy Corporate Secretary, Uber Technologies, Inc.
- Osagie Imasogie, Co-Founder and Senior Managing Partner, PIPV Capital
- Erika James, Dean, The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania
- Jennifer Krevitt, Managing Director & Global Head, Human Capital Management, Consumer & Investment Management Division, Goldman Sachs
- Anne Robinson, Managing Director, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Vanguard
- Kim Rucker, Director, Celanese Corporation, Lennox International, Inc., and Marathon Petroleum Corporation
Over a series of three panel discussions, we will be joined by business leaders and top legal thinkers to explore how to increase racial diversity in the C-suite and boardroom, how corporate leaders can promote a more inclusive workforce and racial equity, and what (if anything) a rebalanced system of corporate governance can do to promote racial equity.
