The serious business of corporate board governance continues to grow more complicated – and more consequential – every day.

Boards face a mounting set of challenges. These range from activist campaigns for proxy access to nominate their own preferred slate of director candidates and serious questions about the propriety of executive compensation to major challenges related to protecting corporate data from cyber attack.

Whether you’re an experienced corporate director or an accomplished executive waiting for your first call to the boardroom, the rules of the board game are changing at a dizzying pace. You need to be better prepared for board service than ever before. And you must be ready to commit more of your time to getting corporate governance right.
