Going Green is the Latest Corporate Buzz
What does it mean to be green? It’s almost impossible to pick up a business magazine without something on the Green movement or Global Warming. At the opening of Wolf Trap this week, the Wolf Trap CEO Terry Jones announced that they were going officially green and that the opening festivities were “A Carbon-free event”.

The Gecko at the Wolf Trap gala on May 22nd. |
They also had the GEICO Gecko on hand at Wolf Trap but as green as he is, I am certain he wasn’t part of that message. But Dell Computer is part of that message. On Earth Day last month they and the EPA hauled away 40 tons of unwanted computer equipment from Washington DC by the truckload as part of their nationwide effort.
This Green movement is no longer just a “West Coast Thing” and we have already heard Fairfax County Chairman Gerry Connolly declare that Fairfax will be the first green county and Governor Tim Kaine is putting increased spending pressure on the cleanup of the Potomac.
ExecutiveBiz announces a “Green for business, what does it mean?” panel event for July 19th. We invite all to come and experience a lively debate on a topic that can no longer be ignored. Click to register or learn more.

Gren Millard

In 2006, the average CEO of a Standard & Poor's 500 company received $14.78 million in total compensation. This represents a 9.4 percent increase in CEO pay over 2005.
When it comes to how and how much top executives are paid, one size does not fit all. A fair compensation system for executives is fundamental to the creation of long-term corporate value.
ExecutiveBiz invites senior executives to meet, connect and discuss Executive Compensation in a small collegial environment at the Tower Club. The conversation will be led by Gren Millard, of Russell Reynolds Associates, an expert in executive compensation.
