John Gillespie, author of Money for Nothing: How the Failure of Corporate Boards is Ruining American Business and Costing Us Trillions, discusses how and why corporate boards have become so dysfunctional; how the failure of corporate boards has contributed to our current economic crisis; how the legislative and regulatory proposals currently under consideration fail to deal with the fundamental structural and cultural problems of boards; and comprehensive recommendations for the reforms that are needed to transform boards into the effective advisors.

Donald H. Schepers, Director, the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity, introduces the speaker.

The event takes place on April 22, 2010, at the Baruch College Newman Conference Center, Room 750.
