Director Dilemma - Working Together on a Board Challenge

The Board’s Role at a time of existential financial crisis

Sometimes there is no checklist. Boards deal with ambiguity because many governance challenges require judgement rather than mere compliance to detailed regulations. 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 a fictitious – but very realistic – boardroom challenge.

Join us at this interactive event focused on the difficult issues that sometimes confront boards. Using a case study approach, participants will be asked to act as the Board of Directors of a non-profit organization in Canada. The organization is faced with an existential financial crisis, and all the available options have distinct advantages and disadvantages.

Through a series of questions, attendees, with the support of an experienced director at each table, will deliberate on options and discuss possible actions the board could take to avert a crisis.

The session will be guided by a moderator who will take participants through the peer-to-peer discussions and will also provide additional insights on the issues raised in the case study and, more generally, on the board’s role.

Session to start at 5:30 pm, please arrive by 5pm for refreshments and networking.

Limited Registration; last day to register is November 24, 2024.
