5th Annual Directors’ Duties: Corporate & Family Boards
The most exclusive seats in the organisation are in the boardroom. These seats are occupied by directors who exercise their responsibilities and duties with integrity for organisational sustainability. Along with these exclusive seats are heavy legal and personal liabilities. In 2016, regulatory updates have taken place in a few countries within the region; the new Saudi Companies Law, the Oman Corporate Governance Code, and the UAE Corporate Governance Rule.
How are these changes impacting the boardroom?
New initiatives and regulations are re-defining board compositions, independence of directors and gender equality in the boardroom to drive top line growths. The remarkable overhaul in the Middle East economic climate continues to weigh heavily on boardroom agendas. Over the years, shareholders have continuously exerted their influence to ensure boards are looking out for the best interests of the company.
How do we manage such delicate situations involving these board directors?
Back for the 5th time, this year’s Board of Directors flagship event will be co-located with the prestigious MENA Family Owned Business conference. Bigger and better than before, the 5th Annual Board of Directors Conference, 6th – 7th February 2017 in Dubai, UAE promises to address key priorities in the boardroom’s agenda by covering themes such as Board Governance in the Changing Economic Landscape, Board Responsibilities and Accountabilities, Boardroom Culture, Women Directorship and Board-Committee Interactions. These key themes will be delivered through case studies, interactive presentation, roundtable discussions and private networking opportunities. This year, grasp the opportunity to participate in an exciting Board Game: The Power Play to acquire the first hand experience being in the shoes of Chairman, Board Secretary and Board Directors. Do not miss the opportunity to meet the region’s top business leaders and board directors that will provide great insights to boardroom excellence.
