Onboarding and Educating: The Care and Feeding of New Directors - Montreal

Onboarding and Educating: The Care and Feeding of New Directors

GPC is thrilled to start hosting events with the local chapters so members can engage and network.  We want more engagement from Quebec, so we are offering for you to bring a friend for half the price!

Did you know that new directors have no defence to ‘plead ignorance’ when they join a board?  New directors need to be in a position to ‘hit the ground running’. This session will explore what it means to ensure a new director is ready to fulfill his or her fiduciary duty and duty of care from the first board meeting.  Tips and tools for on-boarding and providing ongoing training and education for your new board members will be discussed, including what and who to include in an orientation session, what to include in a director’s manual, and tips for helping the new director feel confident in his/her new role.

Session Agenda:

• 7:00 am - 7:30 am Breakfast and networking
  
• 7:30 am - 9:00 am Session begins
  

Presenter:  Janis Riven, LLB & BCL, MBA, PAdm, FCIS, Acc.Dir., Corporate Governance Consultant, Governance & Compliance Solutions, John Molson School of Business, Concordia University.

Join our LinkedIn Quebec Chapter group to be a part of the conversation!
