Corporate Directors and Business Leaders Gather in Washington, DC to Debate Critical Issues Confronting Companies Across America

Washington, DC October 20, 2009—Aline CEO Roland Mosimann joins over 600 Corporate Directors and thought leaders from across the country to debate critical issues and mounting concerns confronting companies today.

At the center of the debate is effective board oversight of an organization's risk appetite and the adequacy of information flow to alert directors of unacceptable threats to performance and market valuation. The regulatory climate, activist shareholders, and economic forces in increasingly complex, dynamic markets are compelling directors to understand and closely monitor strategy and risk.

Citing this increasing demand for top-down insight into risk exposures that are very often ensconced in functional silos of an organization, Roland Mosimann, Aline CEO, stated his impressions: "We believe Corporate Directors are issuing a clear call-to-action. Senior Management teams are being asked to find more effective ways to manage and communicate risk, both within their organizations as well as to the board of directors, shareholders, and regulators."

He went on to add, "It is our belief that organizations which manage risk as an integral element of their performance strategy are clearly advantaged in their marketplace. They gain a capacity for risk/reward insight which leadership can then leverage in capital markets to drive a valuation premium."
