New Age for Risk Oversight: Building a Comprehensive Framework
From the impact of technological disruption, regulatory changes, workforce culture, and social movements, boards find themselves navigating in unchartered territory where potential risks and pitfalls abound. This panel will address the ever-evolving risks that boards are facing in the age of modern governance and efforts to align risk management with strategy and performance.

Board Succession: Setting Expectations, Director Evaluations, and Uncomfortable Conversations
Board composition changes are inevitable. Yet, there is plenty of research to show that many directors believe their current board composition is static and sub-optimal. External pressures for increased diversity, accountability, and fresh perspectives only add more complexity to this topic. This expert panel will share a holistic approach to board succession in an ever changing business context, as well as taking a data-driven approach to address under-performing directors.
