Rounding out “Board Governance Day” on TheCorporateCounsel.net Blog, be sure to check out our recent “Timely Takes Podcast” featuring my discussion with governance expert Ralph Ward. In this 26-minute podcast, Ralph and I discussed the following topics:

– Qualities that separate good boards from not-so-good boards
– Preparing boards to address emerging governance issues
– Effective communication between boards and management
– Keys to good board and committee meetings
– The role and dangers of AI tools in the boardroom
– Advice for prospective directors on their due diligence
– Improving interactions between the board and its advisors
– Preparing for unexpected crises
– Some boardroom “hacks” to keep in mind

As always, if you have insights on a securities law, capital markets or corporate governance issue, trend or development that you’d like to share in a podcast, we’d love to hear from you. You can email me and/or Meredith at john@thecorporatecounsel.net or mervine@ccrcorp.com.
