Mock Board Meeting
Volunteers will run a mock board meeting and a moderator will walk us through the challenges that come with doing business as a board of directors.  Unintentionally violating laws doesn't make you innocent and we want to point out some common areas that tend to get overlooked in meetings.  While some of the meetings will seem entertaining,  the knowledge you will walk away with is invaluable! 

Role of the Board vs Role of Management - FMDC - Elective Course - Jack Randall, Randall Resources Int'l

We will provide a definition and review of what corporate governance means for mutual company directors as well as understanding your role as a board member.  Defining and developing the best practices approach to governance will also be a focus for us in this session. We will dig deep into the role of the management vs the role of the director and help establish clearer lines so the focus is where it should be for success.  Rounding out this session with ideas in evaluating the CEO make this a meeting you don't want to miss.
