Centers
The state of sustainability and ESG is constantly evolving. The Conference Board not only delivers regular, insightful updates on relevant topics but also offers a unique platform for candid discussions. I really value the opportunity to gain diverse perspectives from other companies and industries.

The Conference Board Governance & Sustainability Center differentiates itself as being well balanced across Environmental, Social, and Governance, and bringing robust, objective research and quantitative analytics to discussions. The Center is a way to build community and network; enables a level of candor which can be hard to replicate in other forums; and has a thoughtful program design, which reflects current issues and concerns.

We engaged Dana Peterson to present an economic outlook at Synchrony’s annual Senior Leadership Meeting. Not only was Dana easy to work with – responsive, thoughtful and professional – but she also delivered a dynamic session that our leaders are still talking about. She brought insight and humor to the presentation, distilling topics and economic indicators relevant to our business so that our team left with a stronger understanding of the strengths, challenges and risks in the current environment. I’d gladly recommend Dana and I look forward to working together again.

This organization has been my go-to resource for thought leadership, information and insights since early in my HR career. I have proudly leveraged, with attribution of course, The Conference Board information to influence or improve changes in my HC strategy. This is a great organization and as professionals we are all the better for having it in our lives.
Suzan Morno-Wade, EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) Xerox (Human Capital Center 12/2023)
Great experience with The Conference Board Governance & Sustainability Center. I invited Paul and Anuj to a session with my senior leadership to help us think through the subject of integrating sustainability. This was the most practical and engaging discussion I’ve had on this topic. The discussion helped us understand the critical success factors for developing a sustainable business strategy. After the session, we were able to make several key decisions on our integration strategy and improve our approach to creating a better structure for sustainability within our organization.

I've participated in a lot of your online content and really enjoyed it, especially the Governance & Sustainability Center. They have been putting on a lot of great events, talking about a lot of topics that are very important to me, and the research that we're expanding upon at Everest Group.
Principal Analyst
The Conference Board Governance Center has always been an island of objectivity in a sea of strong and conflicting opinions. In my view, the Center's biggest distinction is its reputation for meticulous, unbiased research, coupled with its ability to bring competing perspectives together for constructive dialogue.
Partner
The Governance Center is a unique forum for thoughtful and constructive dialog regarding emerging issues in corporate governance. It facilitates the sharing of ideas that might otherwise be polarizing, in a way that fosters respectful consideration.
Corporate Secretary and CGO
I have been a member of The Conference Board for many years and it has always provided valuable insights. It also offers stepping stones to the next level of thinking and engagement. The thought nuggets have helped me to enhance my own work. Much of the value is created by meeting peers in other organizations and understanding that while you have many dissimilar challenges and opportunities, you also face many similar challenges and opportunities.
What I have always appreciated with The Conference Board is that you bring in real subject matter experts and you have the opportunity to listen to market research, and scientific information, which I find incredibly important. I have always been in engineering-based industries and they like to see factual data as a base for your decision making. You have solid information upon which you can base your own thinking. When you are exposed to robust and relevant research, it really can be the catalyst to our discussions. I find that excellent, drawing me to attend.
