TO: DIRECTOR SERVICES COMMITTEE No. 10-00
RE: PARTICIPATION IN INSTITUTE'S 2000 DIRECTORS CONFERENCES
______________________________________________________________________________
Attached for your review is a confidential draft of the preliminary program for the Institute’s
Annual Directors Conference. The Conference will be held on November 1-3 in Washington, D.C. and
again on November 13-15 in Santa Monica, CA. We tried to incorporate into the program as many of
the topics suggested at the April Committee meeting as possible. As we discussed at that meeting, we
would like to include more fund directors on each panel. That will require active participation by the
members of this Committee, as well as a substantial recruiting effort.
Please take this opportunity to review the draft program and determine if you would be able to
participate as a speaker on a general session or concurrent session panel. Please indicate your availability
on the attached form and return it to me by mail or facsimile by Friday, July 7th. That will allow me
time to solicit additional speakers and finalize the program for release in late August. Ideally, we would
like to have the same speakers in Washington and California, although that is not absolutely necessary.
As always, I appreciate your generous contributions of time and energy to the Institute and to
Institute programs to benefit investment company directors. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
If you have any questions, please call me at 202/326-5813.
Marguerite C. Bateman
Associate Counsel
