SAN DIEGO, Dec. 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The annual Directors Forum conference, held each January in San Diego, has added Sally Yates to its already impressive lineup of keynote speakers. While currently serving as Partner, Special Matters & Government Investigations, at King & Spalding LLP, she held the position of Deputy General Attorney under President Obama.

“The extraordinary lineup of keynote speakers that now includes former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates is a true powerhouse.  We are excited that Sally will join us to share her deep experience, leadership and wide-ranging background.  In these times of profound controversy, it is an extraordinary opportunity to hear from a leader who has played a significant role at top levels of government and is involved with key issues at top levels of Corporate America,” says Corporate Directors Forum’s CEO, Christina de Vaca.

Directors Forum 2019, hosted by Corporate Directors Forum from January 13 – 15, 2019 at the University of San Diego campus, brings together investors, directors and management to engage in open, off-the-record dialogue about today’s pressing governance issues.  It is designed to encourage personal interaction between attendees and the nation's leading corporate governance authorities.
