Directors’ Dilemma: Sometimes There is No Checklist
Join us at this interactive event focused on the difficult issues confronting a fictional board. Using a case study, participants will be asked to act as a special committee of the board of directors of Geriatric Research Foundation of Canada. Through a series of questions, attendees will deliberate on options and discuss possible actions that the board could take to avert a crisis with the support of an experienced director.
Sometimes there is no checklist. Boards deal in ambiguity because many governance challenges require judgement rather than compliance. When faced with “director dilemmas”, definitive information may not always be available, and a distinct course of action may not always be clear. Learn from your peers and experienced board members as you tackle, discuss options and work through real-world boardroom challenges.
