Board Readiness Program
Educational and networking programs offered for highly skilled current and retired executives who have the interest and experience to be considered for nomination to a public company board or directorship, but who might not have a playbook for starting the journey.
Attendees will share and gain insight into how to position themselves for board opportunities. The program agenda may include subject matter specialists, such as current board members, board committee chairs, and search firms to share their experiences and insight into becoming a board-viable candidate. A select number of senior executives are invited to each session, which makes for an intimate and in-depth exchange of ideas along with the opportunity to network with peers.
