Directors’ Consortium

Learn leading-edge strategies, frameworks, and best practices for making complex board decisions — with customized cohorts for public and private company board members

Big data, stakeholder activism, cybersecurity, financial literacy, ESG, and liability risk: The list of issues and responsibilities for board members is ever-increasing and ever-changing. That’s why Stanford GSB and Stanford Law School have partnered to help public and private company board members become more informed and effective.

Join one of two board member cohorts — public or private — for a tailored, topical, and highly interactive experience. Tackling relevant topics, sharing best practices with a cohort of peers who face similar issues, and applying newfound knowledge to your specific board role will enhance your learning and your success.

Drawing on cutting-edge research, current governance issues, emerging topics, and practical knowledge, Directors’ Consortium goes beyond compliance to explore how directors can best represent stakeholders.
