"I found the discussion to be extremely interesting. The Conference Board has done an outstanding job in building the Directors' Institute into a very respected organization."

Directors' Institute Tailored In-House Programs
In addition to its open enrollment programs, the Directors' Institute also offers in-house director education programs that allow you to tailor customized programs for your full board and key board committees. Programs of varying length are available, covering key corporate governance issues such as effective board organization, enterprise risk, audit committee "red flags," and compensation issues.
Benefits of our in-house program include:
Location Schedule programs on site to coincide with board meetings or at off-site retreats.
Flexibility and convenience Full-day, half-day, or other programs of varying length are available. Programs may be scheduled over multiple board meetings to fit directors' busy schedules.
Uniform instruction Ensure your directors receive a shared, common perspective.
Experienced faculty Gain a comprehensive understanding of key corporate governance, audit committee, and compensation issues from our faculty of current and former directors.
Cost-effectiveness Conduct a program more cost-effectively than having individual directors participate in various off-site programs.
Impartiality Ensure an independent perspective by using The Conference Board, an unbiased and trusted knowledge provider.
ISS accreditation Receive an upward adjustment to your company's ISS governance rating by completing an eight-hour program.
