NomGov Committee Forum: Boards at a Crossroads

Nominating/Governance Committee Forum:
Boards at a Crossroads

An Exclusive Gathering For Public Company Nominating/Governance Committee Members, First-Time Directors and Board-Ready Executives

As directors of public US companies, the decisions we make today will reverberate for years to come. Embracing innovative practices, fostering diversity, and establishing an inclusive boardroom are essential to staying competitive, resilient, and responsive to shareholders and stakeholders alike.

The job of corporate director is transforming. Shareholders suing at alarming rates. Activist investors circling. The speed of decision-making and the penalties for failure? Unparalleled. It’s all happening against the background of unbridled technological disruption and the most heated, divided political climate in a century, with social activists, politicians and the media ready to attack every misstep. There simply isn’t time to get it wrong. Not anymore.

To operate in this unique era requires directors and boards with unique, high-performance dynamics. You need cutting-edge structures, deep trust, impeccable communication and a culture that takes strength from diverse points of view. And, more than anything else, you need to know how to harness all of this to make better, sharper decisions—when it counts.
