Save the Date -- November Compliance Program in Houston

Moving to the front from September 6, 2005 (for obvious reasons of self-promotion).

The South Texas College of Law Corporate Compliance Center will host a one-and-a-half day program on November 17-18, 2005, that examines what companies are doing in response to the amended organizational sentencing guidelines.  Entitled "Where Are We Now?  Compliance Programs One Year After the Sentencing Guidelines Amendments," the program will cover recent developments and practical trends on:

• The Board's role in the compliance program (including a panel discussion among in-house compliance professionals and experienced board members)
• Extending the compliance program to suppliers and vendors
• Training managers and supervisors on their compliance roles
• Methods for evaluating the effectiveness of the compliance program
• The government's evolving expections for compliance programs

Our keynote lunch speaker will be retired Delaware Chief Justice E. Norman Veasey, partner in the New York office of Weil, Gotshal & Manges, who will speak on the topic Federalism v. Federalization in Corporate Law and Lawyer Conduct.

Further information about the program can be found on the Center's web site, including the program brochure.  On line registration is also available at the Center's web site.
