Boyd School of Law will co-host the second annual "Summit for Corporate Governance" on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Robert Jackson, Jr., currently the Pierropont Family Professor of Law at New York University School of Law, will give the opening day keynote. Jackson will speak on the developments at the SEC on environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-related disclosures, ranging from investor expectations to issuer questions as the SEC considers adopting rules in this area over the coming years.
"This year's summit comes at a critical time for directors of public companies who face unique corporate governance challenges arising from the economic, business, and public health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Michael J. Bonner, co-chair of the summit and managing shareholder of Greenberg Traurig's Las Vegas office.
"As the SEC considers rules of generational importance on issuers' climate and human capital management, I am especially delighted to be able to share my thoughts on these issues with the cutting-edge counselors at this year's Summit," Jackson said.
