Beyond Diversifying Your Board: Online Program

Beyond Diversifying Your Board
Wednesday, April 21, 2021
12:00-1:15 p.m. ET
 

Please join NYU Law’s Program on Corporate Compliance and Enforcement and the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Network for Beyond Diversifying Your Board, a conversation with the Beyond #MeToo Working Group on Corporate Governance, Compliance, and Risk. As new rules and regulations governing board diversity grow commonplace, this event explores the next step: how to ensure all board members can exercise their power to effect change and enhance diversity efforts throughout their organizations. The expert panel, moderated by PCCE Executive Director Alicyn Cooley, will discuss practical strategies new corporate board members can use to assert themselves and influence the rest of their boards, as well as ways boards can empower their members to effectuate change.

This event is free and open to the public, but registration via Zoom is required. Attendees will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link and password after registering.
