NACD Atlanta Chapter March Meeting

This must-see program will focus on the role of “Total Shareholder Return,” (TSR) in Long-Term Executive Compensation Plans. TSR remains the most frequently used financial metric by U.S. company boards according the latest NACD survey. Use of TSR rose rapidly over the past decade in response to shareholder pressure, yet its use has recently diminished to just over 50% of boards surveyed by NACD. Why is TSR losing favor? What are Compensation Committees adding to supplement or replace it? Why do almost half of U.S. boards indicate that strengthening performance metrics is a key priority? We will explore these questions on March 15th with a stellar group of panelists:  

• Glenn Booraem, principal of the Vanguard Group and leader of their corporate governance program
• Jan Koors, Managing Director with Pearl Meyer in Chicago
• Bennett Stewart, CEO of EVA Dimensions and author of “Best Practice EVA” and the NACD blog: “What’s Wrong with TSR…and How to Fix It?”

To set the stage, Pearl Meyer will share provocative new research in partnership with Cornell, challenging the notion that use of TSR correlates with long-term business performance.
