"Dealing with the Board: Presentations, Etiquette & More"

Wednesday, October 9, 2013

2:00 - 2:45 pm, eastern [archive and transcript to follow]

Going before a board is not easy. Each board has its own culture - and even that evolves over time depending on who sits on the board and who are the senior managers. Learn the tricks of the trade from those that have been before boards for decades.

  • Stasia Kelly, Co-Managing Partner, DLA Piper LLP
  • John Olson, Partner, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP
  • Stewart Landefeld, Chair, Perkins Coie LLP

Among the topics of this program are:

  • How to get hired by the board - and stay there - and how that differs from getting hired by management
  • What types of presentations work best for different situations - and how does it differ for the GC versus outside counsel
  • How to prepare for a board presentation
  • How to handle tricky relationship issues between directors - or senior management and directors
  • How to handle issues that come to your attention from outside the boardroom
