🌟 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐬🌟 In today’s dynamic corporate landscape, the responsibilities of boards are immense. Specialized Board Committees have become pivotal in ensuring effective governance, compliance, and strategy execution.

2024 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for corporate #governance. As companies adapt to an increasingly complex business environment, the role of the #Nomination Committee is more critical than ever. On April 30th, MEIoD is hosting a virtual webinar on "Governance Conversation: The Nomination Committee." This 90-minute session will provide an in-depth case study and discussion on the Nomination Committee, including its processes, hurdles, and best practices. As the cornerstone of a board's composition, the Nomination Committee should be focusing on board refreshment and the skills and diversity needed to meet future challenges. For directors and governance professionals, this webinar is an opportunity to network, share experiences, and gain insights into how an effective Nomination Committee can drive better board performance and oversight.

A diverse and inclusive Board of Directors fosters better decision-making, oversight, and governance, particularly during challenging times, resulting in improved performance. This was determined by the Institute of Corporate Directors PH (ICD) in a study of all active publicly listed companies (PLCs) registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission from 2019 to 2021, which showed a clear and positive correlation between a company’s Return on Equity (ROE) and the PLC boards' diversity in gender, expertise, and age. So yes, gender is important, but so is age and expertise. Read on to learn more about the study and the Board Diversity Index Tool. #ICDSupportsBoardDiversity
