The Board’s #1 Responsibility - The CEO’s Seat
Being prepared for a change in C-Suite leadership, whether planned or sudden, is not a new topic of discussion, but the way in which human capital and talent development have become integral parts of the succession discussion is new.
1:35 - 2:25 PM
Management, Be Nimble
As companies grow, they seek to find ways to maintain nimbleness. In the quest for agility, companies are taking a deeper look at how they manage human capital and nurture talent. This panel will discuss the main components of company culture, what drives it forward, and what holds it back.

Rooted in the Past; Looking to the Future: Board Succession
With increased scrutiny on board composition, boards must be focused on the present while simultaneously planning for the future. Board diversity, director tenure, and turnover are all top of mind for investors and boards alike. This panel will discuss how boards can prepare for the next generation of leadership by incorporating succession planning into the culture of the organization itself.
4:30 - 5:20 PM
Strategic Shareholder Engagement
A hot topic for many years, shareholder engagement continues to be an important tool for companies and investors. Recently, the spotlight has been on the board, specifically independent directors and chairs of nom/gov and comp committees, to engage with investors directly. This panel will showcase several specific examples of robust engagement campaigns.

Event Overview

Equilar and Nasdaq are excited to offer a half-day program to help public company board members, general counsel and corporate secretaries drive success in their organizations. Investors’ emphasis on board transparency, accountability and independence is intensifying, and as a result today’s boards face a seemingly never-ending set of risks, governance decisions and strategic initiatives.

The goal of the Board Leadership Forum is to empower participants to build higher performing boards through improved processes, strengthened director evaluations and recruitment efforts, and more effective shareholder engagement.
