Clash of the Titans:

How sophisticated HR executives influence their Boards of Directors

Boards of Directors are getting bigger, more powerful, and have more famous members on them than ever. This, coupled with the billions of dollars public tech companies control and the ups and downs of the market, put you as the HR executive into a high stakes, high risk/reward situation—one you cannot hide from. What is HR’s and the board’s role in developing corporate strategies? How much do you really know about the inner-workings of boards? What are the major differences between private and public company boards? What would you do if you were asked to present at your next Board meeting during a crisis or scandal?

If you’d like to glimpse the inner workings of Board meetings or want to be recruited onto some boards, this is the one lunch event you will not want to miss. Valerie Frederickson will be moderating an exciting panel of HR superstars as they share their experiences, strategic advice, and practical tips on collaborating with and presenting at Board meetings. Key highlights will be in the areas of compensation, succession planning, strategic workforce planning, crisis management, and M&A.
