Douglas R. Conant, the president and chief executive officer of Camden-based Campbell Soup Co. (NYSE: CPB), may soon spend a bit more time in New York. He has been elevated to chairman of the Conference Board, the influential business-executive organization that, among other things, produces the Consumer Confidence Index and the leading economic indicators index. The group's leaders and members may be what people unwittingly mean when they say "captains of industry." Its board boasts CEOs of many global corporations. Its other Philly-area CEO is Richard T. Clark of Merck & Co. Inc. (NYSE: MRK). A chairman's tenure usually lasts two years.
