Zoom invitation will be shared the day before the event.

Overview

Explore the “behind closed doors” conversations, decisions, and drama of closely held businesses as they establish governance and Board processes. 

After hearing from our accomplished speaker, Sean Hutchinson, you will have to decide which of these books he is never going to write:

  1. Ten simple steps to cashing out and enjoying your retirement 
  2. Emerging from the shadows: NextGen tribulations
  3. The awkward love triangle in the Board room

This will be an interactive session moderated by Aneta Key with plenty of opportunities to ask questions during the formal program from 5 pm to 6 pm.  As usual, we will then switch to informal conversations to share immediate reactions with fellow PDA members.

Thank you to our National and Gold Chapter Sponsors!
