Characteristics of Highly Effective Boards of Directors
Saturday, October 10, 2015 ~10:15AM – 11:15AM
Gerald J. "Gerry" Salontai, P.E. (Salontai Consulting Group)
Our industry is highly competitive today. Business leaders need every edge possible for success. When used effectively, a company’s Board of Directors can help guide the management team to greater heights. The Board can help the company achieve its vision and strategic direction, ensure that resources are allocated effectively, maintain financial strength, and maintain the best policies. Professional-service companies of all sizes and ownership structures are moving to a more dynamic and forward-looking governance model. Learn how your company sizes up in this area and where there may be an opportunity to “up the game” for your business.
Gerry will address:
the role and focus of the Board,
qualifications and selection of directors,
agenda and decisions for the management team vs. a Board, and
advancement of the company’s long-term vision and strategy.
