Financial Poise™ Announces “BOARD OF DIRECTORS BOOT CAMP 2018: Building an Independent Board," a Webinar Premiering July 16, 2018 at 11 AM CST through West LegalEdcenter
CHICAGO (PRWEB) July 12, 2018 -- More and more privately-held companies are exploring the benefits of effective corporate governance and, consequently, are working towards formalizing board processes. This trend has been driven in part by the ever-increasing pressure that companies face from foreign competitors and increasing government regulation. The demographic wave of the huge number of businesses whose leadership is getting ready to retire and which, therefore must engage in succession planning is another significant factor.
Yet, many private companies delay implementing a more formalistic governance regime or simply do not understand they even need it. The BOARD OF DIRECTORS BOOT CAMP 2018 Financial Poise webinar series discusses various aspects of good governance in private companies. Applicable to owners, executives, directors and their respective trusted advisors, this webinar series brings a variety of experiences and perspectives on the most common questions around private company governance.
The second episode of the series, Building an Independent Board, airs on July 16th at 11:00 AM CST (Register Here) and features Moderator Kristi Daeda of The Family Business Consulting Group. She is joined by Chris Anderson of The CJ Anderson Company, Otis Baskin of The Family Business Consulting Group, David Eaton of David Eaton Consulting, and Bob Lindeman of The Overture Group.
When private companies move from a “paper board” (a/k/a owner-only board) to the inclusion of independent directors, it can be a big shift in the status quo. Working through a process and making good decisions on some key common issues can help prevent headaches down the road and set the new board on course. In this webinar, through discussion with expert consultants and experienced directors, we talk about how companies create effective boards from the ground up, discuss the differences between advisory and fiduciary directors, and how to select the right talent for the new board.
The BOARD OF DIRECTORS BOOT CAMP 2018 webinar series is produced by Financial Poise.™ The series is sponsored by BoardBookit.™
Future episodes in the BOARD OF DIRECTORS BOOT CAMP 2018 series include "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Planning and Running Effective Board Meetings," airing on August 13th, and "The Effective Director," airing on September 17th. Each episode airs at 11:00 AM CST. All episodes premiere live through West LegalEdCenter and then are made available on-demand.
