The United States 2024 presidential election marks a year that is rife with lasting economic tensions. Precision becomes board critical, as directors face exacting investor, consumer and regulatory scrutiny. In order to lead with a firm vision, boards are also expected to identify and appoint the best leaders to hold a seat at the table.

Beyond corporate performance, boards must also show leadership in climate change mitigation and responsible social governance. This last year had shown that brand trust begins in the boardroom, highlighting the importance of diligence and care in the face of public adversity, from cybersecurity breaches to severe failures in risk oversight.

How should boards strike a balance between business continuity and digital transformation? Will technology play a key role in inspiring investor confidence? How should boards navigate geopolitical nuances while maintaining corporate priorities on track?

On June 12th and 13th, board directors gathered at the Harvard Club of New York City to discuss the very latest governance agenda.

This event was held for sitting board directors onlyand followed the Chatham House Rule.
