Charting the future in an environment of heightened complexity requires Boards and Directors to function at the Next Level of Governance.

Where the traditional definitions of the Board’s role and fiduciary duty are evolving and highly contested, boardroom decisions have greater implications for the economy, environment and society as a whole.

Directors must raise the bar to successfully navigate the New Normal.

The ICD invites you to be a part of this important dialogue by attending Canada’s leading informational and networking event for Corporate Board Directors.

SESSION 1: Governing the Future of Work – Outcomes of the Global Director Dialogue

SESSION 2: Finding Your Voice as a Director – Amplifying Your Influence and Impact in the Boardroom

Canadian Boardrooms Balancing Energy, the Economy and the Environment Balancing energy, the economy and the environment poses significant challenges to boardroom decision-making. How can Boards empower their organizations to find constructive, workable solutions for energy transition and address physical, regulatory and strategic risks, while capitalizing on opportunities presented by the new energy economy?

SPONSORED BY:

The work people will do in the future – and how and even why they will do it – is evolving and boards need to guide the way. Led by experts from the ICD’s Global Director Dialogue (a convening of directors from companies across the globe), session participants will simulate a special committee to determine how boards can oversee re-skilling, organizational re-design and human interaction with automating machines.

Concurrent interactive sessions on top-of-mind issues affecting boardroom leaders

In an environment where the role of Directors is increasingly complex, it is essential to speak up and listen to multiple perspectives. Taking a stand for our perspectives, however similar or different to other views in the room, is not always easy. In this highly interactive session, you will explore what it means to “find your voice,” and to share it with – and listen to – others, to influence important boardroom decisions.

The Evolution of Fiduciary Duty

Closing Session with 2020 ICD Fellows

23rd Annual ICD Fellowship Awards Gala

SPONSORED BY:

The definition of fiduciary duty is at the forefront of discussions that will impact the evolution of governance in Canada and abroad. Do all stakeholders share equal importance, or should shareholders reign supreme? Should the principal objective of a business enterprise be to generate economic returns, or will a purpose beyond profit ultimately result in greater value?

The ICD Fellowship Award is the highest distinction for Corporate Directors in Canada. Established by the ICD in 1997, this award honours individuals who have made outstanding contributions to Canadian enterprises and NFP organizations through their governance leadership in Canadian boardrooms.

Fellows are inaugurated by the ICD at the annual Fellowship Awards Gala. To date, 92 Directors across Canada have been presented with this prestigious award.
