		<description><![CDATA[When The Conference Board Governance Center launched the Governance Center Blog more than two years ago, the United States and, indeed, the world, was still reeling from the financial crisis. Much of the governance community was focused on the debate over what additional regulatory reforms were required to prevent excessive risk taking and help restore confidence in financial institutions and companies in general. Today, we face a continued low growth environment and high unemployment in the US and Europe, while the congressional “Super Committee” addresses US deficit challenges and EU leaders struggle with a plan to address European debt issues. In this environment, companies and investors will continue to face not only the daily challenges of managing their operations in a difficult economic environment, but will also be faced with myriad governance challenges -- including appropriately managing risks, communicating with their key constituencies, creating and maintaining a sustainable business model, and effectively and efficiently implementing increased regulations.

The Governance Center will continue to seek to be a thought and convening leader in helping to address these governance challenges.]]></description>
