Kashdan will serve as panelists for the National Association of Corporate Directors (“NACD”) Philadelphia Chapter’s “Advising the Board During Times of Instability: Coffee with General Counsels and Corporate Secretaries,” taking place Thursday, March 27, 2025, from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. EDT, as an online webinar.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
In an era of volatility and rapid change, the role of general counsel and corporate secretaries has become increasingly vital in equipping boards with the insights and strategies they need to navigate instability. This program is specifically designed to address two critical areas of change and instability—tariffs and diversity, equity, and inclusion—as they intersect with broader corporate governance challenges.
Panelists will explore the legal and strategic complexities of tariffs in an interconnected global economy and delve into how shifting trade policies and geopolitical tensions impact corporate strategy and risk management, offering actionable insights to effectively guide boards during times of uncertainty.
