Board Diversity Matters

Board diversity isn’t about having a seat at the table. It’s about changing what the table looks like. And once you have that seat at the table, it doesn’t mean you’ll automatically have a voice, especially when you may be “the first” woman, minority or simply bringing diverse perspectives to a board with firmly entrenched relationships and dynamics.

Bringing a range of perspectives, our panelists Lori Beausoleil, Corporate Director, and Tracy Primeau, Founder & Princial, Agile Bear Consulting and Corporate Director, led by Cathy Logue, Managing Director, Stanton Chase, will share their experiences, lessons learned, and how they’ve used their voices to drive impactful board outcomes.

AI & Data Governance - Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. Now!

Adeptly navigating complexity is a key requirement for any board.

In this fireside chat we will help board directors better understand and strengthen their ability to weather the swirls of the global data and AI storm.
