Thought Leadership Speaker Series—Executive Compensation
September 18
8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center
Washington, D.C.
Two landmark events—the recent global financial meltdown,
and the preceding corporate scandals that led to the demise
of companies such as Enron, Adelphia and WorldCom—have focused
a great deal of attention on the high levels and complex
structures of executive compensation. At the heart of this
debate is the question: do incentive components motivate
executives to perform, or just manipulate performance? Lemma
Senbet, William E. Mayer Chair Professor of Finance, will
draw on current research to shed light on the reform of
executive compensation and its role in the governance of
financial institutions.

Thought Leadership Speaker Series—Transforming Healthcare
through IT
October 9
8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
UM Biopark
University of Maryland-Baltimore Life Sciences Conference
Center
Baltimore, Md.
By 2014, most Americans must have an electronic health record,
as mandated by the federal government. Digitizing personal
health records has the potential to reduce health care costs,
improve patient outcomes and give ordinary people more control
over their own personal health management. Will digitization
help alleviate the healthcare system’s quality and efficiency
shortcomings? How do we evolve toward a more consumer-centric
healthcare system? Ritu Agarwal, Robert H. Smith Dean’s
Chair of Information Systems, discusses the challenges and
opportunities of health information technology.
