Corporate board members face new challenges and have an increased recognition of their responsibilities since the wave of governance reform swept in. The Stanford Directors' Forum goes beyond compliance to explore how directors can best represent shareholders and other stakeholders in their advising and oversight roles.

The program gives participants the frameworks and strategies to understand the current governance environment and to carry out their responsibilities. Directed by distinguished faculty members of Stanford University's business and law schools, this ISS-accredited program provides frameworks, strategies, and "best practices" for structuring decisions in the key policy areas that directors face.
