Corporate Governance Series 06/21/2012 by Center for Board Governance

The June 2012 edition of BoardroomDirect marks the conversion of this newsletter to a "monthly" format. This month's newsletter analyzes diversity in the boardroom with a focus on what directors can do to make boards more diverse in gender, ethnicity, industry experience and thought.

Other corporate governance topics that are addressed in the newsletter include:

  1. proposed legislation to prevent directors, officers and employees from using insurance to protect themselves from having compensation clawed back,
  2. how the recently enacted JOBS Act affects directors, and
  3. formation of private company accounting standard-setting council
