The role of the Board Secretary has become far more than that of company scrivener and custodian of records. In a dynamic industry involving corporate governance, compliance, and director liability, this role is critical .  Regulatory agencies (and potentially legal counsel) will scrutinize recordkeeping, the Board Secretary’s communication with directors/management and the administration of corporate governance. What are the “do’s” and “don’ts” of this important job? How can the Board Secretary be more effective?  This session will provide the answers to these questions and more.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

Ø      Communication with directors and management; before and after the meeting

Ø      Coverage at board and committee meetings; how your role changes

Ø      “Crafting” the minutes and supporting documentation

Ø      Record retention requirements

Ø      Obtaining/maintaining annual documentation requirements (e.g., insider records, board training schedules, etc.)
