The Modern Playbook for Corporate Governance: A Discussion with the Author of On Board

Join us for a virtual conversation with Jonathan F. Foster, author of On Board: The Modern Playbook for Corporate Governance, moderated by Anna Pinedo and Jennifer Zepralka.

As a former banker and a director of many public and private companies, Jonathan F. Foster brings to bear practical experience and insights in a “playbook,” not an academic tome. On Board is the ultimate guide for corporate directors, executives, governance professionals, and students navigating today’s fast-evolving business landscape. This essential resource delivers a historical perspective, data-driven insights, and stories from inside boardrooms on board leadership, fiduciary duties, CEO issues, regulatory compliance, and governance best practices.

We will discuss some of the learnings that general counsel, corporate secretaries, outside counsel, directors, and aspiring directors might consider in their roles as well as some of the challenges that face today’s boards of directors, including mergers and acquisitions and restructurings, the increasing importance of institutional investors, as well as the role of environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns.
