How to Retain Mission-Critical Talent
CEOs are leaving. The increasing number of sudden CEO exits in recent months spurred Corporate Board Member to team up with Farient Advisors and survey directors on the risk of an unexpected leadership departure. Boards are taking action. See what they are doing to mitigate talent turnover and support retention.
Our team presents important takeaways from the newly published research and interviews with directors.

You are cordially invited to join us for an insightful evening on October 30, 2024, featuring a distinguished panel of experts, interactive audience Q&A, and a cocktail reception.

Our esteemed panel will explore these topics and examine their implications for risk management, corporate governance, and compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks.

America is Becoming Less Woke—The Economist
A survey of surveys by The Economist has attempted “to quantify the prominence of woke ideas in four domains: public opinion, the media, higher education and business.
