The role of a board member calls for a distinct set of skills and capabilities
that cannot necessarily be drawn from the skill set one develops from prior
management experience. Effective board membership requires a reorientation
to shareholders and an understanding of the interests of multiple constituencies.
In this ISS-RiskMetrics accredited program, you will improve your understanding
of the responsibilities of board membership and develop the skills and strategic
insight needed to become a more effective director. With top faculty from the
Kellogg School of Management in collaboration with Ernst & Young, you will
learn frameworks that can move the board beyond compliance to the creation
of opportunities for long-term value.
