Last Chance to
Nominate a
Rising Star!
|
The Millstein Center is compiling a list of global “rising stars of corporate governance” - people who, while young and relatively new to the field, are making their mark as outstanding analysts, experts, activists or managers.
They may be at any of the many bodies that comprise the global world of corporate governance: corporations, academic bodies, institutional investors, auditors, advisory firms, rating agencies, proxy services, professional associations, and others. Candidates can be based anywhere worldwide, but must possess a record of outstanding performance in corporate governance that marks them from their peers.
The Center intends to acknowledge rising stars as part of its annual Yale Corporate Governance Forum. Though all nominees will be acknowledged at the Forum, a number of exceptional candidates will be highlighted.
A selection committee comprised of leaders from the Millstein Center, the Open Compliance and Ethics Group - our partner in this endeavor, and other organizations will assess candidates on criteria such as: past accomplishments and thought leadership; future projects and endeavors; reputation among existing industry leaders; and potential to influence the industry in the future.
Nominees must be under 40 years as of June 10, 2008.
If you would like to nominate someone, please click on the star on the left to go to the website or forward the name, title, company, contact information, CV, and a comment on what makes them exceptional to: millsteincoordinator@yale.edu.
Candidates must be submitted by May 1st!
