USC alum Christopher Cox, a former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Myron T. Steele, chief justice of the Delaware Supreme Court, will be keynote speakers at the fourth annual USC Corporate Governance Summit set for Nov. 12-13 at the Davidson Continuing Education Center.

“Business leaders are increasingly judged by ever-more exacting standards of accountability, transparency and risk management, so it’s crucial that corporate boards think and act in the best interests of all their constituents,” said Don Murray, chief executive officer of Resources Global Professionals, which is sponsoring the summit.

Organized by the USC Marshall School of Business in 2006, the summit is designed to give directors and executives the information they need to meet the current challenges of governance.

The event will feature experts from USC Marshall and the USC Leventhal School of Accounting.

“The summit will provide directors and officers a crucial chance to gain insights into emerging trends in corporate governance, as well as a continuing education opportunity to stay on top of best practices in these turbulent times,” said USC Marshall associate professor of clinical finance and business economics Duke Bristow, who will chair this year’s conference.
