"Take it from the Top" with Anthony J. Guzzi
In-Person | November 18, 2026 | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM | Charlotte, NC
Note: This event is open to NACD members who currently serve on a public or private company board of directors.
Please join us for an exclusive dinner and fireside chat with Anthony Guzzi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME) and Independent Lead Director of Hubbell Corp. (NYSE: HUBB)
Drawing on decades of leadership as a CEO and public company director, Anthony Guzzi will share candid, real-world perspectives on the leadership and governance issues that matter most inside the boardroom. His experience as Chairman, President & CEO of EMCOR Group and Independent Lead Director of Hubbell Inc. gives him a distinctive vantage point from both sides of the boardroom.
The evening will begin with a reception followed by dinner and fireside chat moderated by Jennifer Pollino, experienced corporate director who will guide a dynamic conversation around leadership, talent, board refreshment and boardroom insights.
The conversation will explore leadership, talent and culture, board refreshment, director accountability, succession, and the CEO–board relationship, as well as how leaders navigate consequential decisions involving M&A, emerging technology, and long-term value creation.
Going beyond governance theory, Guzzi will share lessons from his own experience: how values shape leadership, what he looks for in talent and directors, how strong teams and cultures are built, and what makes the relationship among the CEO, Chair, Lead Director, and board truly effective.
Attendees will gain a rare opportunity to hear candid insights from an accomplished leader who understands the challenges of leadership and governance from both sides of the boardroom.
