Overview

Congratulations on your new opportunity to join the board of directors of a private company!  While the excitement and honor are valid, there is also personal and professional risk that accompanies board representation.  Join us for a discussion on what prospective board members should consider from a risk perspective when accepting a board position and how existing boards can attract strong candidates with a risk mitigation strategy.  Our panel will provide guidance on considerations specifically related to risk assessment and how director’s and officer’s insurance supports risk mitigation.

Thank you to our National and Gold Chapter Sponsors!
