Board Renewal in an Era of Accelerating Change

Leadership transitions across ownership groups, boards, and executive teams have reached unprecedented levels throughout the Heartland, elevating succession planning from a periodic exercise to a strategic governance imperative.

As organizations navigate rapid technological advancement, evolving workforce expectations, economic uncertainty, and increased stakeholder scrutiny, boards must continually evaluate whether they have the right leadership and governance structures in place to drive long-term success.

Join NACD Nebraska for a discussion with Kimberly Ellison-Taylor and Chris Hawkins,  two seasoned leaders who bring distinct perspectives on succession planning and board renewal. Together, they will explore what effective succession planning looks like from both the boardroom and executive-level perspective in both a private and public company context.
