The Directors' SeriesHelping Canadian corporate directors stay informed |
The Directors’ Series enables Canadian corporate directors to stay informed on new developments and issues, while maintaining their continuing education requirements. Each complimentary two-hour session is held as an interactive live broadcast in 16 locations across the country.
These sessions strive to help corporate directors be as effective as possible by providing opportunities to hear from seasoned corporate directors, company executives and professional advisors who provide fresh insights on the most current issues concerning corporate governance. Attendees can participate in Q&A sessions with the panelists, and network with their peers. At the end of each session, directors take with them ready-to-use, practical information and tools to help them discharge their responsibilities.

Themes discussed
Session topics will be selected closer to the sessions to ensure that current marketplace issues and trends are reflected. Some of the themes discussed during past sessions include governance in times of transition; preparing for year-end committee meetings; risk-intelligent governance; governing through a recession – the leadership role of the board; market uncertainty – what boards needs to know; strategy and risk – are you asking the right questions?
Please note that the presentations will be delivered in English. Discussions will be in both English and French.
