Bush Tax Cuts Not Renewed - Taxes Will Increase in 2011
What Does This Mean and How Does This Affect Executive Compensation?

President Obama released the proposed budget this month and the Bush tax cuts will not be renewed. Therefore many Americans, especially those making over $250,000, will see a tax increase from 36% to 39.6% in 2011 (in addition to state income taxes).

RCG|Benefits Group has a state of the art administration system with its Wealth Management Center that can help executives to have more control over their wealth accumulation. This discussion will cover various best practice designs and new funding and security alternatives.

Companies with low participation state the following reasons:

• Don't understand the plan
• Don't like being a general creditor
• Don't like investment fund line up
• Plan is not flexible enough

Bill MacDonald will cover design features to address these concerns, and also demonstrate the flexibility with the RCG|Benefits Group Wealth Management Center.

In addition, we will be presenting the results of a CFO compensation
survey of public companies in San Diego.

Be a "fly on the wall" of a mock compensation committee meeting and listen in as the "CEO" makes her pitch to the committee for compensation she thinks is needed to keep her management team in-tact -- and watch her field the probing questions of the comp committee members!

Join Corporate Directors Forum for a hands-on educational opportunity to learn from experts and practitioners about how boards can negotiate and navigate the turbulent waters of executive compensation -- given today's unusual market conditions.
You will see and hear how the issues are actually thought through, discussed and decided in the boardroom.

Watch -- and be prepared with your own questions -- as they work through the how's & why's of these challenges and others:

• Balancing short-term cash and long-term incentives
• Determining the appropriate metrics for short and long term incentives
• Dealing with the "special" treatment of a single, valued employee
