On November 4, 2009, fifty-one prominent men and women from international financial institutions, major accounting and law firms, academia, media, and research and policy institutions, gathered at The University Club in New York City for a colloquium entitled "Governance of Financial Institutions." The participants included twenty-one current or former regulatory officials, seventeen of whom have chaired or now chair government agencies that regulate financial institutions.
The participants met in plenary session and listened to moderated panels and presentations. The participants heard two formal addresses: one, on the eve of the colloqium, by Paul A. Volcker, Chairman, President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board; and another, during the colloquium, by Judge Richard Posner, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The speakers were introduced by Richard D. Parsons, Chairman, Citigroup and Robert Denham, Partner, Monger, Tolles & Olson LLP, respectively.
The colloquium was conceived of by Roderick M. Hills, Partner, Hills Stern & Morley and former Chairman of the SEC, and cosponsored by the Institute of International Finance (IIF), the Hills Program on Governance at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and The American Assembly of Columbia University.
