From Vulnerability to Readiness: Preparing for Shareholder Activism
December 8, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT Webinar
Member Price: Complimentary
Non Member Price: Complimentary
Credits: 1 NACD/CPE Credit
Shareholder activism preparedness starts well before an activist appears on the shareholder register. Boards need to understand where their companies may be vulnerable, how investors evaluate performance and governance, and whether existing engagement and response plans are fit for purpose.
This discussion will explore how directors can assess strategic, financial, and governance vulnerabilities through an investor lens. Speakers will examine how activists develop their arguments and build support among shareholders, and how boards and management teams can establish clear responsibilities before a campaign emerges. Participants will gain practical perspectives on engaging shareholders year-round, stress testing potential activist narratives, and establishing response protocols that support informed decisions under pressure. The session will focus on steps boards can take today to strengthen readiness and maintain alignment with long-term shareholder interests.
This program is complimentary to NACD members and nonmembers.
