Email to order the Recording + Digital Download

In a dynamic industry involving corporate governance, compliance, and director liability, the role of board secretary is more than critical. Examiners routinely ask for, and conduct an in-depth review of board minutes as a part of their regular exam request memo. The minutes must be complete! Examiners (and potentially legal counsel) will scrutinize recordkeeping, the board secretary’s communication with directors/management, and the administration of corporate governance. What are the dos and don’ts of this important role? How can the board secretary be more effective? This session will provide the answers to these questions and more.

In addition, more and more board packages are delivered electronically via iPads and other tablets. What steps can be taken to mitigate risk regarding security and privacy? Best practices for this critical function will be addressed.
