Dealing with Dysfunction in the Boardroom & Building a High Performing Board
Thursday, November 9th, 8am - 10am  
 
We have all heard horror stories of board meetings going off the rails, and difficult board members that distract CEOs from the important work of scaling their business.  A great board can have significant impact on your company's success and can provide important leadership, direction and value for you and your business.
 
Please join us on November 9th as our experts
tackle the tough questions surrounding both how to deal with dysfunctional boards and how to build high performing boards.
