What Do Standout Trustees Do Differently in Governance?

Have you ever wondered how other trustees are interacting with boards and management? What differentiates standout trustees when it comes to their role in governance?

Join facilitated small-group breakouts to explore trustee governance interaction success practices. We’ll explore what and how standout trustees engage with boards and management in fulfilling the collective’s shared stewardship of employee-owners’ interests.

We’ll unpack what is done—and what isn’t. For example, how much, when, and for what outcomes do standout trustees engage? We’ll look at trustee interactions through the lens of continuous change in the marketplace and in the business.

We’ll exchange learning and experiences in each small group, across the room, and as introduced by the session leaders through their vantage points of both “in” and “on” the business and its governance. Whether you’re new to employee-owned business or decades in, it’s a good time to take your governance interactions to their next-level opportunity.

Importantly, this session is not about the slate of trustee responsibilities. The conversation is about how standout trustees engage in a differentiated way with boards and management to do those responsibilities.

Learn also how to continue the conversation in your own ecosystem of shared stewardship. Whether you’re a trustee, director or company leader, come away ready to have the conversation with your fellow stewards about elevating your interactions to the next level of impact for the employee-owners’ interests you serve.
