RE: 2000 INVESTMENT COMPANY DIRECTORS CONFERENCE - PRELIMINARY PROGRAM
The Investment Company Institute is holding its Seventh Annual Investment Company Directors
Conference, November 1-3, 2000 in Washington, DC, and again on November 13-15, 2000 in Santa
Monica, CA. Enclosed is the preliminary program and registration form.
The conference will feature a varied program of industry experts, government officials and
experienced fund directors sharing their perspectives on issues of interest and concern to the fund director
community. Additionally, it will provide opportunities for fund directors to meet with their peers
informally and in group discussions.
We plan to open the conference with a general session addressing the status of the SEC’s
comprehensive fund governance rule proposals, as well as other recent legislative and regulatory
initiatives that are of interest to fund directors. We will also offer a number of concurrent sessions on
topics relating to the operation of fund boards and the responsibilities of directors.
Please see the program for the specific details on registration deadlines and hotel information for
Washington, DC and Santa Monica, CA. Attendance at each conference is limited to 250 persons.
Questions regarding registration should be directed to the Institute’s Conference Division at (202)
