In addition, spouses and guests are encouraged to attend. After an upscale reception and a fantastic dinner, we’ll hear from Darla Stuckey, President and CEO of the Society for Corporate Governance, on the “State of the Society” and from Keir Gumbs, Securities and Capital Markets Partner with Covington & Burling LLP, on the evolving trends – regulatory and otherwise – that he observes in Washington.
We will also convene a short business program to elect the new Houston Chapter officers for the 2018-2019 program year.
