Our President, Barbara McKenna, is moderating a panel at the Capital Connect Forum on August 6 in Detroit, Michigan called “Overboarded? Rethinking Board Effectiveness for the Future.” Overboarding has become a growing concern as investors scrutinize whether board members and investment committee participants are serving on too many boards to be effective. The discussion, which includes Ursula Burns of Integrum, Meredith Miller of Amalgamated Bank and Michael Kennedy of Old Republic International, will explore how organizations can balance the benefits of experienced directors with the increasing demands placed on board members in a rapidly changing environment. Thank you to UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust, one of the sponsors of Capital Connect Forum, for inviting Barbara to moderate such an important issue that intersects fiduciary duty, oversight quality, risk management, and performance accountability.
