NASDAQ, NYSE Team Up with The Conference Board on Board Practice Survey

by Gary Larkin

The Conference Board, NASDAQ OMX and NYSE Euronext recently announced a research collaboration to examine the state of corporate governance practices among publicly listed corporations in the United States.

The collaboration focuses on the development and dissemination of information regarding the structure, composition and functions of the board of directors. As part of the collaboration, The Conference Board is conducting an online survey of general counsel members, corporate secretaries and corporate government specialists at publicly listed U.S. companies. If you interested in taking the 2011 Board Practice Survey, please contact Matteo Tonello, research director of corporate leadership at The Conference Board at matteo.tonello@conference-board.org.

Findings will constitute the basis for a benchmarking tool searchable by company size (measured by revenue and asset value) and 22 industry sectors. Data will also be analyzed in the next edition of The Directors' Compensation and Board Practices Report, which The Conference Board, NASDAQ OMX and NYSE Euronext will release jointly in the fall. The report has been published by The Conference Board since 1939. For more information on the report, click here.
