The program is designed to generate practical takeaway pointers that can be responsibly applied to a broad range of boardroom concerns. Now in its twelfth year, Directors' College brings together leading CEOs, directors, jurists, scholars, and regulators for a rigorous examination of how directors can respond to corporate governance challenges in these difficult times.

The Directors' Consortium is a joint offering by the Stanford Graduate School Of Business, Stanford Law School, University Of Chicago Graduate School Of Business, and the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.
In light of regulatory changes and reduced public confidence, becoming an educated board director is a necessity, not an option. Board members need to understand their fiduciary, legal, and ethical oversight responsibilities the bar has been raised for all directors. As a director, what sorts of questions should you ask management, or outside experts? What level of expertise should you bring to an audit or a finance committee?
What should shareholders expect from you as a director; what should you expect from management? How can you ensure that the governance decisions you make are best for the company? The Directors' Consortium offers even experienced directors the benefit of a research-based, comprehensive approach to the complex decisions that board members must make. Taught by faculty from accounting, finance, law, public policy, and strategic management, this program will help you build a best practices framework for thinking about and making informed board decisions.
