Evening Workshop
The Boardroom
January 24, 2006
Sponsor: Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman
Join VC TaskForce for the launching of The Boardroom, an innovative evening workshop on Boards of Directors, January 24, 2006.
You'll want to attend if you are on boards of directors and are concerned about Sarbanes-Oxley—or know you should be.
The Boardroom uses a case-study approach to simulate real life boardroom scenarios. Through well-crafted cases, we can re-live actual boardroom situations in private and public, high-tech companies and learn from others’ mistakes. It’s a “Flight Simulator” for boardroom training—no seatbelts required.
Anyone who’s learned the hard lessons of business on-the-job knows that experience is actually the second-best teacher. The case method is the best. A well crafted case can pack more experience into every hour of learning than any other instructional approach – and there’s always a soft landing. Judgment and the wisdom developed from experience lie at the very core of business success. There’s no more effective way to develop these skills than through cases, such as those presented in “The Boardroom” program.
The Boardroom was developed by two high tech corporate governance advisors: Deborah Ludewig, Partner, Emerging Growth and Technology, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, and Ann Peckenpaugh, President, Board Search Partners LLC.
