INTERNATIONAL EVENTS
The Directors Roundtable wishes to host a senior official of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission internationally during 2012. Our invitation lists include the majority of key legal decisionmakers for large corporations globally as well as most Directors, C-Suite Executives, Private Equity and Hedge Fund Leaders, and Large Investors. At each event there will be one law firm, and one accounting or service firm to co-host and speak. The timing of the programs is flexible. The local securities regulator can also join the SEC speaker.

There are two other proposed programs that can be considered:
• United States Events: We can host in the United States Distinguished Speakers such as partners from an international law office; an important leader of business; or senior government officials from another country including the President, Prime Minister, or Cabinet Minister.
• World Honor to General Counsel: The Directors Roundtable presents the leading global honor to General Counsel. We are asking firms to recommend the General Counsel of major public, private, or government corporations in their region that might be honored. Prior Honorees for this series have been the General Counsel of ArcelorMittal, Bechtel, BlackRock, Carlyle Group, Chevron, Citigroup, Computer Sciences, Dubai World, DuPont, Fidelity Investments, Ford Motor, Freddie Mac, GlaxoSmithKline, HSBC, Intel, Kraft Foods, Lockheed Martin, Manulife, Marsh & McLennan, Medtronic, Microsoft, Nestle, News Corporation, Nokia, Procter & Gamble, Raytheon, Royal Dutch Shell, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, UBS, and Viacom. (The events honoring General Counsel had a panel of law firms in contrast to the other events which have one law firm.)
