September 23, 2005, Greencastle, Ind. - James B. Stewart, Pulitzer Prize-winning financial reporter and author and 1973 graduate of DePauw University, will be a keynote speaker at the Governance Summit. Described as "a first-of-its- kind leadership event for corporate directors and chief executive officers," the event will take place in Dana Point, California, October 26-29.
"Some 100 directors and CEO's will gather to explore best practices in governance as boards move beyond compliance to create real-world strategies for ensuring shareholder value," notes an item at Yahoo! Finance. "The format will utilize case studies rather than the usual lecture-type presentation. Attendees will participate in working sessions 
with featured speakers to discuss and develop best practices."
