STANDING COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN
RE: JANUARY 2001 BOARD OF GOVERNORS MEETINGS
The Institute’s Board of Governors Winter meeting will be held January 29 – 30, 2001 at
the Ritz-Carlton in Rancho Mirage (Palm Springs), California.
The meeting schedule is based on the recommendations of a Planning Committee of
Governors. On Monday, there will be a panel discussion regarding the sources of growth in the
asset management business. On Tuesday, there will be small discussion groups and a plenary
reporting session to consider two strategic issues identified as part of the update of the Future
Role of the Institute Study. The formal business meeting, which will include a presentation and
discussion of capital gains tax policy, will be divided between both days. A preliminary
schedule of events is attached.
Historically the Winter meeting has provided an opportunity for Governors to engage in
extended discussions of topics which are important to the long term future of the industry and
to build relationships with one another. As the industry has grown and faced difficult issues,
the strength of these relationships have greatly assisted the Institute in addressing industry-
wide issues, which at times require members to set aside individual firm perspectives to reach
common solutions. This is even more important due to the increased size, prominence and
diversity of the industry. While we recognize that the time commitment to attend the Winter
meeting is substantial, we encourage you to attend. The interaction among the Governors
which occurs at the Winter meeting has been a significant contributor to the long-term success
of the Institute.
