In Person | October 22, 2026 | 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM CDT | Houston, TX
Today’s board directors and chairs are navigating an environment where disruption is no longer episodic - it is continuous. Rising CEO turnover, abrupt executive transitions, AI, ever-changing government policies, enterprise risk, shareholder pressure, and shifting stakeholder expectations are converging, requiring boards to lead with greater clarity while maintaining the right distance from day-to-day management.
Join us, in collaboration with Egon Zehnder and Grant Thornton, for a candid peer conversation for governance leaders on how high-performing boards are leading through volatility, strengthening succession readiness, and adapting board composition, information flows, and decision-making models for a more uncertain environment. Participants will explore how boards can stay focused on long-term value creation while responding to near-term pressure from markets, shareholders, sponsors, and major events.
This peer exchange is designed for NACD members who are public and private company board leaders.
