Omaha | Boardroom Evolution: Rethinking Director Recruitment Amid Disruption

Whether you're focused on strengthening your board or positioning yourself for future board service, this session offers timely insights you won’t want to miss.

Join us for a conversation with Kimberly Bishop, CO-CEO of Kinetic Leaders, as she shares practical strategies and emerging trends in board recruitment—what boards prioritize today, how expectations are shifting, and what it takes to stand out.

Together, we’ll explore how to rethink the ideal director, navigate the evolving boardroom landscape, and understand the board’s expanding role in overseeing disruptive technologies. We’ll also examine how economic uncertainty, global instability, and a company’s strategic direction and values are increasingly shaping board placements.
