This session is designed for companies that are seeking greater value from their boards. From the nuts and bolts of how an effective board operates, to the principles that drive what the board should—and should not—do, this preconference session will draw on members of boards, outside experts, and NCEO data to cover what it takes to have boards that make companies stronger. This session will help you cover the fundamentals, including legal requirements, valuation basics regarding what board members should be aware of in this changing environment, and issues unique to ESOPs. It will also dig into core structure questions, such as committees and the role of the board chair. You will leave with a path toward finding and onboarding independent directors and a framework for strategic planning that includes a productive role for the board. NCEO Resource:
