Your Roadmap for Board Education in 2023

Directors are used to navigating the challenges of business. However, the past few years have proven to be even more demanding than usual, and for many reasons—the pandemic; war in Europe; environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) concerns; and economic factors, to name just a few.

Successful board members know that continuing education keeps them on top of the issues that matter. The right programs can also help board members stay informed on how other directors are navigating these critical topics.

Woodruff Sawyer’s annual Board Education Resource Guide is your roadmap to continuing education in 2023. These educational (and networking) events come in a variety of options, from in-person or virtual to multi-day events, shorter formats, and go-to online resources.
