As we launch into a new calendar year, there are quite a few societal and business topics that boards of directors continue to grapple with. This special SVDX session will look at the most pressing issues for boards of directors to consider as we look to a brand new year. Should you pivot (or not?) on ESG? Do you know enough about finance and economics to be a board director? Is AI a distraction or an opportunity? How do I manage all of these proxy changes? Join our panel for a lively discussion around what to anticipate in the world of corporate governance in the new year.
