Co-Sponsored by Diligent Corporation
Good board communication during a time of crisis has become mission critical. But in this altered world of virtual interaction, what is the best way to maintain excellent board dynamics? There are potential new liability issues and endless confidential conversations that still have to happen - all via technological means - , not to mention information that has to flow through a host of new channels. Boards have been experiencing a heightened amount of meetings and contact in the last 6 months, but at a distance. Will this new manner of contact forever alter how boards communicate moving forward? This webinar will address best practices and lessons learned about virtual meetings, how boards can build trust when board members are not in direct contact, and what to consider for the future.
