Pomerantz Corporate Governance Roundtable

WITH SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON

Pomerantz, in association with The Corporate Governance Institute, Inc., is pleased to announce that on June 16, 2020 they will host a Corporate Governance Roundtable Event at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Beverly Hills, California with special guest speaker, President Bill Clinton.

The Roundtable will gather institutional investors to discuss their evolving role in managing the risk of governance and ESG challenges under the theme: The Collective Power to Make Change. This one-day event will combine the knowledge and experience of fiduciaries, legal counsel and governance professionals from around the globe with the opportunity to discuss important matters that affect the value of the funds they represent.

We are honored to announce the attendance of President Bill Clinton at this event. President Clinton served as the 42nd President of the United States and founder of the Clinton Foundation. During his time in office, President Clinton led the U.S. to the longest economic expansion in American history, including the creation of more than 22 million jobs. He was also the first Democratic president in six decades to be elected twice.

After leaving the White House, President Clinton established the William J. Clinton Foundation with the mission to improve global health, strengthen economies, promote healthier childhoods and protect the environment by fostering partnerships among governments, businesses, non-governmental organizations and private citizens to turn good intentions into measurable results. To recognize the voice, vision and counsel of President Clinton’s wife, Secretary Hillary Clinton, and their daughter, Chelsea, in shaping the William J. Clinton Foundation, in 2013 it was renamed the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

Today the Foundation has staff and volunteers around the world working to improve lives through several initiatives, including the Clinton Health Access Initiative, which is helping five million people living with HIV/AIDS to access life-saving drugs. The Clinton Climate Initiative, the Clinton Development Initiative and the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership are applying a business-oriented approach to fight climate change worldwide and to promote sustainable economic growth in Africa and Latin America.

In the U.S., the Foundation is working to combat the alarming rise in childhood obesity and preventable disease through the Alliance for a Healthier Generation and the Clinton Health Matters Initiative. Established in 2005, the Clinton Global Initiative brings together global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues. So far, nearly 2,300 Clinton Global Initiative commitments have improved the lives of more than 400 million people in 180 nations.

In addition to his Foundation work, President Clinton joined with former President George H. W. Bush three times – after the 2004 tsunami in South Asia, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Ike in 2008 – and with President George W. Bush in Haiti in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. Today, the Clinton Foundation supports economic growth, job creation and sustainability in Haiti.

Pomerantz and The Corporate Governance Institute, Inc. look forward to hearing President Clinton’s remarks as he shares his perspectives and experiences with the audience. Additional speakers, all specialists within their field, will address topics such as the latest governance developments, forced arbitration, ESG and governance developments in 2020 and board diversity.

At the conclusion of the educational portion of the day, guests are invited to attend a private dinner at the world renowned Greek restaurant, Avra, located in the heart of Beverly Hills.

Jennifer Pafiti, Partner and Head of Client Services at Pomerantz, has been involved in organizing a number of these Roundtable Events over the past few years, and comments: “These events bring together peers to discuss current issues that directly affect the asset value of the funds they represent. More importantly, though, this setting allows experts within their field to share ideas, opinions and best practices under an important theme, which this year is: The Collective Power to Make Change.” We look forward to welcoming you and President Bill Clinton on June 16, 2020 in Beverly Hills, California.
