The spotlight is being placed on boards more than ever before. Not only are shareholders on alert, but the SEC, with its new director disclosure rules, brings heightened attention to who is on the board.
As boards ask, “what is the role of the board today?", our expert panel will address some of the key issues regarding building a board:
- Developing a board with the flexibility to adapt to rapid market changes
- Dealing with more intense scrutiny by the SEC—and the new rules requiring an explanation for why every director is on the board
- Profiting from “diversity”—and what IS “diversity”?
- Succession planning—timely and thoughtful rebalancing of the board
- The politics of tenure (and the appropriate timing for refreshing the board)
- Getting and keeping the right people, developing a matrix of skill sets, and balancing independent and insider directors
- How much influence should the CEO have in the nominating process?
- The ongoing development of the board—getting directors up to speed and keeping them there, and anticipating new skill sets needed
- How/where to find the directors you need
And bring your questions!
