INVESTMENT COMPANY DIRECTORS
RE: INVESTMENT COMPANY DIRECTORS WORKSHOP ON APRIL 18
_____________________________________________________________________________
As part of our continuing effort to assist investment company directors in fulfilling their
responsibilities to shareholders, the Investment Company Institute will hold a special one-day
workshop for fund directors and trustees at the Hotel Inter-Continental Chicago on April 18.
As indicated on the enclosed Preliminary Program, the workshop will explore basic questions
of board operations, contractual and regulatory issues, and other aspects of fund governance.
The program is designed to be especially useful for fund directors who are relative newcomers
to the industry.
We are pleased to announce that Barry Barbash, Director of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission’s Division of Investment Management, will be a speaker at the
workshop. Other speakers will include John Haire, Chairman of the Committee of
Independent Directors, Dean Witter; Thomas Lemke, General Counsel, Strong/Corneliuson;
Steven Paggioli, Executive Vice President, Wadsworth & Associates; and Richard Phillips,
Partner, Kirkpatrick & Lockhart.
Attendance at the workshop is limited to directors, officers and employees of Institute
members. To register, return the attached registration form and the appropriate fee to the
Investment Company Institute. Please make your own hotel reservations by calling the hotel
