We are thrilled to start the Rock Center and feel privileged to have it begun by someone like Arthur Rock, whose life and work have been central in creating the Silicon Valley. Our goal, like Arthur's, is nothing less than to transform corporate governance in the United States and abroad.

At the very least we will be able to pick up very quickly what the side effects are. And this is something that standard clinical testing doesn't (offer) for several years.
We're very pleased to offer this event programming for free on the web.
