Your Board of Directors: A Value Accelerator

Your board of directors may be one of your company's most undervalued and underutilized assets.

The right board can do far more than fulfill fiduciary responsibilities or represent major shareholders. An engaged, well-constructed board can shape strategy, challenge assumptions, open doors, attract capital and talent, navigate critical decisions, and ultimately accelerate the value of the company.

Join NEHEN for a practical discussion with experienced board members, investors, and CEOs who have built and worked with boards that became meaningful contributors to company success.

Inside the boardroom.

• •Building the right board for your company's stage and strategic needs
• •Moving beyond governance to strategy and value creation
• •What CEOs should expect from their directors, and what directors should expect from the CEO
• •Finding directors who bring the right experience, relationships, and perspective
• •How investors and independent directors can bring different and valuable perspectives to the boardroom
• •Using the board to make better decisions during financing, growth, partnerships, M&A, and other critical inflection points
• •Recognizing when the composition of the board needs to change as the company evolves
• •Creating a board culture that encourages candid discussion while maintaining alignment with management
• •Board as coach to the CEO for success

Our panel will share lessons learned from both sides of the boardroom table, including what makes a board highly effective, where boards can go wrong, and how CEOs and directors can build relationships that create lasting value.

Following the panel, join us for a moderated Q&A and the opportunity to continue the conversation with executives, investors, entrepreneurs, and board members from across the NEHEN community.
