NEWS
ABOUT CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - November-December/2005 Year IV – No. 41
A new
cycle. - This newsletter closes a cycle begun in mid-1999 that sought to fill
what was then a Corporate Governance news and knowledge gap, by giving
bimonthly news via email in Portuguese and English for all interested in this
subject. Time has proven that
Corporate Governance was not just a business world fad and, on the contrary,
has become very much a key topic for individuals, companies, the government,
and society in general. - Now, in 2005, six years and forty bimonthly newsletters on, sent in
Portuguese to 1,200 readers and in English to 550 at May-June/05, we believe
we have attained our initial objective of contributing to spread a topic so
relevant to the corporate world.
This relevance becomes increasingly clear nowadays when we read the
huge volume of daily news in the press and the generalized familiarity with
Corporate Governance, which has been substantially publicized in the
Brazilian business world. - In November this year, the cycle was closed with a
book in Portuguese, “Corporate Governance – Six Years of
News”, launched during the Sixth Brazilian Corporate Governance
Congress held in São Paulo. This book contains all the 40 newsletters
published over these last six years, condensed in 36 editions forming Part I
of the book. The second half is
comprised of 30 publications and articles written by us and some especially
selected authors. The preface was
written by the First President of the CVM (Brazilian Securities
Commission) and Member of the Board of Directors of a number of companies,
Roberto Teixeira da Costa. It
also includes commentaries by EAESP Fundação
Getúlio Vargas professor, Cláudio Vilar Furtado, ABRAPP (Brazilian
Association of Pension Fund Association) President, Fernando Pimentel, IBGC
(Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance) President, José
Guimarães Monforte, and Independent Board Member, Paulo Conte
Vasconcellos. The book was
published by Saint Paul Editora and José Cláudio Securato was
in charge of Editorial Coordination. - The new cycle, beginning in 2006, will be along
similar lines to the present. In
other words, it will also consist of bimonthly editions, emailed free of
charge to everyone on our email list and to anyone interested in the new
format. They will also be
available on our website (http://www.lcvgovernanca.com.br/),
and will continue to be sent out in Portuguese and English. These newsletters will consist of
articles focusing exclusively on the Board of Directors, which, as we well
know, is the core of Corporate Governance. - The topic of the first
edition of this new series – Jan/Feb 2010 – which will be
prepared and sent out by the end of the year, already has a title: “Why
do some boards of directors work better than others?” - For their essential contribution to the success of this long cycle
that is now closing, we take this opportunity to thank all who have helped,
supported, and encouraged us, and hope we can rely on this same spirit of
cooperation during the new cycle beginning now. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
