About The Event

Member Price: Complimentary

Non Member Price: Complimentary

Credits: 1 NACD Credit

In this Veterans Cohort virtual program, our speakers will discuss how risk is managed when information is incomplete, timelines are compressed, and the consequences of misjudgment are severe. Drawing on lessons from their military experience, the conversation will explore how leaders assess threats, allocate resources, maintain discipline, and adapt strategy when conditions shift without warning. Directors will leave with practical frameworks they can apply to enterprise risk, crisis oversight, and long-term resilience in today’s volatile environment.
