CEO Fireside Chat with Ben Minicucci

The NACD Northwest Chapter is pleased to invite you to attend a very special in-person program with Ben Minicucci, CEO and president of Alaska Air Group.

Alaska Air Group operates within a significant array of critical risks and has experienced risk-related events that have brought the company considerable media attention. This fireside chat will highlight the board’s role in the firm’s enterprise risk management (ERM).

Join us to learn how Minicucci collaborates with his board on Alaska Air Group’s risk assessment, management, and mitigation and event response. How does he define the board’s role and management’s role in operations-related risk identification and mitigation (such as the in-flight loss of a door plug) in contrast to risks inherent in corporate mergers and acquisitions decisions (such the recent Hawaiian Airlines acquisition)? How did the COVID-19 pandemic impact Alaska Air’s ERM processes? Which risks keep him awake and which do his independent directors focus on? What does he see as future-developing risks for airlines?

This promises to be an enlightening and interesting discussion with time allotted for audience questions followed by a networking reception.
