Session Description

Building a Future-Ready Board

Tuesday, November 17, 2026

3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Future-ready boards aren’t built simply by assembling the right people; they’re built by creating a culture that leverages individual strengths for collective impact. Through an interactive look at how our lived experiences shape approaches to leadership, change, communication, and decision-making, participants will explore practical ways to build a board culture equipped to leverage different perspectives, challenge assumptions, navigate change, and make stronger decisions for the future.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

  1. Recognize how individual experiences and perspectives influence leadership, communication, change, and decision making in the boardroom.
  2. Apply strategies for leveraging different perspectives and individual strengths to strengthen board culture and collective effectiveness.
  3. Identify practices that help boards challenge assumptions, navigate change, and make more informed decisions for the future.
