About the Program

Issues facing corporate boards have never been more complex and demands on directors’ time have never been greater. In a time of uncertainty, the opportunity to engage with director peers in a private, off-the-record setting on the toughest boardroom challenges is invaluable.

G100 Board Excellence helps directors navigate these complex challenges, delivering actionable insights that improve board effectiveness, enhance digital risk governance, and promote productivity between CEOs and their boards. Participants who have faced the toughest governance challenges—activists, unexpected CEO succession, strategy shifts, cyber breaches—share their experiences in an interactive fireside chat format. The program emphasizes peer exchange, providing an outside-in perspective directors can bring back to their boards to improve performance and stay current on emerging topics.

Governance Members

Board Excellence Governance Members support good governance, director education, and director independence by providing board members access to a full series of peer engaged meetings and roundtables. Participants are Fortune 1000 chairs, lead directors, committee chairs, and rising boardroom voices of the future. An experienced director chairs and participates throughout each meeting, and discussion leaders include boardroom leaders from influential companies. The peer engaged format encourages an active dialogue among participants, while the meeting’s structure and agenda enables attendees to network with peers. Facing fast-changing demands, the opportunity to engage with director peers in a private, off-the-record setting on the toughest boardroom challenges is invaluable.

Practitioner-led Discussions

At G100 Board Excellence, there are no PowerPoints or presentations; rather, the program features conversations among peers with actionable takeaways to improve board effectiveness.

Intimate, Off-the-record Setting

The invite-only group is closed to the press and public, facilitating an open and candid dialogue. With participation capped, G100 Board Excellence offers an unconflicted setting appealing to experienced and new directors.

Diverse Board Insights

Informed by conference chairs, board leaders, shareholders, and senior advisors, G100 Board Excellence meetings and sessions focus on the most significant challenges facing boardrooms.

Efficient Format

Meetings are scheduled in an efficient afternoon, dinner, and following morning format suitable for busy directors. Sessions feature ample break time to engage independently with peers.

Discussion Leaders

Agenda topics—frequently suggested and often led by CEO members—deal with every aspect of strategy, growth, people, and the shifting business environment. We choose topics carefully, identifying immediately relevant issues or emerging challenges not yet on the corporate radar.
