RE: 2002 INVESTMENT COMPANY DIRECTORS’ CONFERENCE - PRELIMINARY
PROGRAM
The Investment Company Institute is holding its Ninth Annual Investment Company
Directors’ Conference, October 16–18, 2002 at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Washington, DC.
Attached are 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.
We plan to open the conference with a general session addressing the role of fund audit
committees. This will be followed by a panel focused on recent legislative and regulatory
initiatives that are of interest to fund directors. Additional sessions will highlight techniques to
efficiently manage board meetings, portfolio investing issues, and the process of evaluating
director compensation.
Registration and light refreshments will be offered on Wednesday evening, October 16,
for attendees arriving early. For more registration and hotel information, please see the attached
material or contact the Institute’s Conference Division at 202/326-5968.
