NDI 2020 is going Virtual! Please join us for our 19th Annual National Directors Institute (NDI) Executive Exchange on Wednesday, November 11 – Friday, November 13, 2020. With half-day live and on-demand sessions and opportunities for interaction, we will discuss the latest trends impacting the corporate governance landscape in light of, and as we look beyond, COVID. While this year’s event will be Reimagined and look a little different from years past, the hallmarks of NDI remain the same – to provide timely advice and guidance, foster candid interchange about real-world situations and provide practical and tactical solutions for effective governance.
Patrick McGurn from Institutional Shareholder Services will update us all on the latest trends in Board and Shareholder Governance and what to expect in the upcoming 2021 proxy season.
