What does a successful airplane ride have in common with a successful corporate board of directors meeting? Both should be anticlimactic. And both should be preceded with plenty of behind-the-scenes preparation.
The fourth episode of Bare Bone Board Basics, premiering on March 30th, puts into play (or, more aptly, puts into a play) some of the best practices used by experienced corporate directors for planning, prepping for, participating in, and following up from a meeting of a company’s board of directors.
This episode features Tech Up for Women Co-Founder, Kathleen Murray + Seasoned Board Member, Allan Grafman + InfraSight Software Corporation Chairman, Bob Lerner + Fora Financial Chairman, James Mitchell + Corporate Restructuring Attorney and Board Advisor, Jonathan Friedland.
While this episode covers the basics mechanics (e.g., recognizing a quorum, calling the meeting to order, approval of the minutes of the prior meeting, etc.), its focus is more substantive. Through the use of hypothetical scenarios, this episode #4 places its panelists into the roles of board members of specific companies addressing a variety of specific issues, with the moderator breaking the “fourth wall” to lead a discussion about their actions, inactions, and reactions. A production of certain chapters (Alabama, Dallas, DC Metro, Nashville, New England, New York Metro, Tampa Bay & Wisconsin) of the Private Directors Association®,Executive Forum™, Private Director Symposium™, ChamberWise™ & Financial Poise, this webinar is of utility to brand new and veteran directors alike.
