DISCLOSURES WORKSHOP
April 28, 2011 * Chicago, IL The SEC, ASTM standards,
shareholders, and the public have increasingly demanded and even
required full disclosure of financial ramifications of climate change

specific criteria for businesses. However, climate change also offers
financial opportunities as well as risks for many companies, especially
those in the energy sector or with high energy demands. The workshop
addresses these and other emerging requirements, identifies
benchmarking and best practices, and provides an array of opportunities
as well. Join us in Chicago for a one day workshop on Climate
Change Financial Disclosures.

and Fishes: The Odd Saga of the Chicago
Waterway and the Asian Carp. Luncheon at the Union League Club The Asian carp has
dominated our headlines like no other invasive species. David
Rieser, a partner with McGuireWoods LLP, has been thoroughly involved
with these issues since January of 2010, representing a coalition of
business trade associations dedicated to preserving the Chicago
waterway and the important economic engine it has always been.
Mr. Rieser will discuss the background of the waterway and
its importance to the area, the risks presented by the Asian carp and
the role played by the DNA findings in stirring the controversy.
While many people have heard about the controversy, this
presentation is intended to provide a deeper understanding of the
background and facts. The presentation will address a variety of
technical and legal aspects and is directed at business and
professional people who are interested in the issue.
