Compensation Committees are navigating an increasingly complex landscape. Investor expectations continue to evolve, economic and policy uncertainty are complicating performance assessments, and boards are being asked to oversee a broader range of talent, workforce, and governance issues that can ultimately influence executive pay outcomes.
Following the 2026 proxy season, public company boards are taking stock of what investors supported, where scrutiny intensified, and what that means for compensation oversight going forward.
This Director Peer Exchange will bring together an exclusive group of public company directors for an off-the-record discussion on how boards are approaching executive compensation oversight and related governance considerations in a more complex operating environment.
Participants will hear how institutional investors are evaluating executive pay decisions, board judgment, and governance oversight amid economic uncertainty, policy shifts, and evolving investor expectations.
*The exchange is limited to public company board members and participation is subject to approval.
As boards face continued scrutiny around executive compensation, AI governance, workforce transformation, and long-term value creation, understanding the priorities of institutional investors has never been more important. We’ll sit down with Catherine Moyer, Head of North America Stewardship at Northern Trust Asset Management, for a candid discussion on the governance trends, shareholder expectations, and emerging issues shaping board-investor engagement.
Topics will include:
