Duties of the Board Secretary: Fundamentals, Best Practices & E-Package Delivery

Date: April 18, 2013
Time:
2:00 PM- 3:30 PM CST
About:
In a dynamic industry involving corporate governance, compliance, and director liability, the role of board secretary is more than critical.  Examiners (and potentially legal counsel) will scrutinize recordkeeping, the board secretary’s communication with directors/management, and the administration of corporate governance.  What are the dos and don’ts of this important role?  How can the board secretary be more effective?  This session will provide the answers to these questions and more.

In addition, more and more board packages are “delivered” electronically via iPads and other tablets.  What steps can be taken to mitigate risk (e.g., security, privacy, etc.)?
