About The Event

Member Price: Complimentary

Non Member Price: $25.00

Credits: 1 NACD Credit

Early-stage life sciences companies reach an inflection point: when scientific leadership must be joined by governance expertise in commercialization, capital management, and stage-gating decisions that unlock the next funding round. This session addresses how boards add that expertise without sacrificing scientific credibility, build a skills matrix that evolves with company stage, and establish the governance structures that determine the company's capacity to execute through each critical transition.

 

This program is part one in NACD Philadelphia's three-part series focused on the life sciences.
