CII Fall Conference October 23–25, 2018 Grand Hyatt New York New York, NY PROGRAM  CII Fall Conference October 23–25, 2018 Grand Hyatt New York New York, NY PROGRAM CONTENTS 1 Welcome to CII’s 2018 Fall Conference! 2 Thank You to Our Conference Sponsors 4 Conference Information 5 FAQs 11 Agenda CONTENTS 24 CII Education 29 Attendees 44 CII Members 49 CII Staff 51 CII Leadership THANK YOU TO OUR CONFERENCE PROGRAM SPONSOR B www.cii.org WELCOME TO CII’S 2018 FALL CONFERENCE! We are delighted that so many members and guests are joining us for CII’s fall conference — the first in New York City since 2002. We deeply regret any inconvenience we may have caused you by moving the meeting from Boston because of a strike at the conference hotel there. Our program offers insightful, provocative speakers on topics ranging from executive compensation to cryptocurrencies. It also includes a “master class” for governance professionals on evaluating company management of human capital, a forum for 50+ meetings between investor and company members and a roundtable discussion dinner for pension fund trustees. In between, there are several member-hosted events and opportunities WELCOME to network with peers. Looking ahead to 2019, CII is honored to partner with the New York University School of Law on Corporate Governance Bootcamp, a premium educational program for mid-level professionals. We are thrilled that 35+ members are taking advantage of a special CII discount to enroll in the three-day course, set for late January. Our commitment to educating members extends to helping fund trustees stay informed and in touch, too. We are pleased to announce that we will host training for new and experienced trustees at our 2019 spring conference, in partnership with the CFA Institute. We gather in New York 10 years after a global financial crisis fueled in part by gaps in regulation and governance. Mindful of that searing time, CII advocates for sensible rules that promote fair and vibrant capital markets. Your support helps to inform and drive those initiatives. Thank you for your membership and for joining us at the conference.

Attendance at CII events is only open to current CII members in good standing. CII member organizations may chose a membership type that includes conference attendance for a limited number of employees, or lower annual dues without conference attendance included.

CII 2018 Fall Conference 5 May I attend CII conferences if my dues haven’t been paid? No. CII conferences are members-only events. Are there additional fees to attend a CII conference?

Does CII provide any opportunities for members to arrange dinners, meetings, or events? Yes. Members are welcome to coordinate private events around our conference at any time. To be considered for inclusion in our “member-hosted meeting” program and be included in our agenda, member organizations may submit a request to hold an event, subject to the following guidelines:  CII accepts requests for formal member-hosted meetings prior to each conference with an open period for submitting proposals.  Preference is given to voting members.  CII must approve the event before it can be scheduled. Once CII approves your event, you will work directly with the hotel on the details and planning of your event.  All billing will be direct with the hotel.  CII does not guarantee any day/time will be exclusive.  Requests for events often exceed the number of rooms CII has available. 6 www.cii.org FAQS  CII staff eviewsr requests with the emphasis on offering valuable content for conference attendees and makes an effort to give preference to member organization with a first-time request.  Member-hosted meetings are not related to CII’s sponsorship program in any way.  Event content cannot overlap with CII’s program nor can be scheduled at a time that overlaps with CII’s program. What is the dress code for CII conferences and functions? All CII functions are business professional dress unless otherwise noted. Please be sure to bring a light sweater or jacket as meeting rooms are frequently kept slightly cooler due to the number of attendees in a given room. What sessions during the conference are considered “closed”? The conference agenda denotes which sessions are closed due to the nature of the event. Many administrative meetings occur on the first day of CII conferences and are closed meetings. Most plenary sessions, including the Activism, International Governance and Policies Committee Plenary Sessions, are open to all conference attendees. Constituency meetings are open to attendees of their specific constituency group. If you have a question about which constituency you belong to, please visit the registration desk. I have a special dietary request for meals at a CII conference. What do I do? Be sure to include the information with your registration. You will receive meal identification cards when you pick up your name tag. If you did not specify your requests during the online registration process, please visit the registration desk and we will do our best to accommodate your request. What type of security protocols are in place during CII conferences? CII takes security at our functions seriously. Security personnel are on site for all sessions and receptions. All attendees are required to check-in at registration upon arrival to obtain a name badge and pertinent conference information.

John Dillon* Baseball is America’s sport. It evokes a sense of tradition and a love for the home team. Like all professional sports teams, however, baseball teams are part of a league, which restricts team ownership through contrac- tual “constitutional” provisions and agreements and limits the number of teams that exist. In this limited and restricted entertainment market, profes- sional sports teams operate highly lucrative businesses that sometimes seek bankruptcy protection through Chapter 11 reorganization. Bankruptcy gen- erally allows the debtor to alter existing contractual rights and restructure its operations to avert the financial crisis that precipitated the bankruptcy filing.

Their role in shaping public opinion through their media interests, and their mastering of the world of business and trade is pivotal to the world economy. As a group they are the most successful in terms of income and wealth and they have reached the highest echelons or the pinnacle of power in every field. Jews are the masters of Hollywood, they are the masters of all forms of media, radio, and television. They are masters of trade and commerce and banking, medicine, and law. The following lists we believe prove this reality. Jewish Lists The lists below are available on the internet. A spot check of several of the names found it to be generally accurate, though we cannot vouch for ALL of the names, and some titles may be out of date. The second list claims to be updated in 2012.
