For the past 20 years, Corporate Board Member has surveyed public company directors to take their pulse on top boardroom issues.

This year’s What Directors Think study, conducted in partnership with Diligent Institute, provides insights into how U.S. boards are addressing seismic change and unrelenting pressures on strategy and growth.

Join this interactive discussion to reflect on 20 years of change—and continuity—in America’s boardrooms. We’ll explore how public company boards’ challenges and priorities have changed over two decades, how they haven’t—and where they’re heading. Be part of the dialogue on February 21, 1:00 – 1:50 pm ET to gain pragmatic insights and tangible ideas to help contribute more strategically in your boardroom discussions in 2023.

WE'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS:

Are traditional board structures up to the task of managing the expansion of board agendas over the past 20 years? How are boards handling committee agenda creep?
How have the necessary skill sets and expertise of directors expanded over the past two decades? And how are boards reconciling the need for greater diversity with the foundational core requirements of a director?
Nothing has changed more in the past 20 years than the way companies work. How are boards evolving their oversight of human capital and workforce issues?
With strategy and growth being two of the most fundamental board responsibilities, how are directors rethinking capital allocation and prudent cost containment to set their companies up to grow out of the downturn?
