The topic for this meeting is Both Sides Now: Looking At Board Recruitment From The Board and Candidate Perspectives and will include the following discussion:


Given the growing complexity and scrutiny of corporate governance today, building high-functioning boards has never been more challenging.  If you're building a board, how do you identify and recruit candidates who bring the right chemistry and complementary skills?  If you're being asked to join a board, how can you clarify roles, requirements, and expectations to ensure a good fit? 

At the February 2, 2006 meeting a distinguished panel of speakers, including  Dan Hesse, CEO, Sprint Nextel's Local Telecommunication Division, Don Pratt, Chairman & CEO, Western Investments, and Jeannine Strandjord, Retired - Sprint as Senior VP & Chief Integration Office, will examine board recruitment from both sides of the table--what boards should look for in new members and what prospective members should look for in boards.
