Special Webinar Series: Bare Bone Board Basics for the Private Company 2022

About the Series

Every corporation has at least some of the legal rights and responsibilities enjoyed by natural persons. As the brain can be said to govern a person’s actions, a board of directors governs the actions of a corporation. And leaving aside some legal nuances, the same can be said of the manager of an LLC. Publicly listed companies have active boards; they must. Historically, many private companies have not, though that has been changing rapidly over the past decade. The job of a board director can be quite difficult yet can be greatly rewarding. The benefits almost any company with multiple owners (and often even a company with a single owner) can derive from having an excellent and active board are tremendous.

This webinar series, moderated by Jonathan Friedland, is a production of certain chapters of the Private Directors Association®, Executive Forum™, Private Director Symposium™, ChamberWise™ & Financial Poise™
