The iPad has dramatically changed the Boardroom dynamic and how Directors communicate. Rapidly evolving consumer-centric technology is also impacting the role of the GC Office – from driving the decision to invest in next-generation Board Portals, to taking the Boardroom paperless faster than ever!

In this 60 minute free webinar, BoardVantage's Mary DeFrenchi, Hamilton Health Science’s Cathy Rozman and Directors & Boards' Jim Kristie, discuss the new decision team, essential features of board portals, the accelerated timeline to paperless, and best practices focused on board book efficiency and discoverability.

This webinar is for any public or private board member, senior corporate executive, corporate governance officer, corporate counsel, or board advisor interested in better understanding board portals and their applications for supporting board communications and executive team collaboration.
