Corporate boards today face expanding expectations and intensifying scrutiny. Directors are expected to oversee not only traditional financial and operational risks, but also cybersecurity, AI, geopolitics, regulatory complexity, reputational exposure, workforce issues, activist pressures, and rapidly changing disclosure requirements.  

Lawrence Cunningham (Presiding Director, Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance) will offer a practical discussion of risk oversight from the perspective of an experienced public company director and governance professional. Using a leading institutional framework as a foundation, the presentation will explore how boards actually approach risk oversight in practice—including the distinction between oversight and management, the role of board committees, the importance of incentives and culture, and the growing challenge of information overload. The session is designed to provide directors, executives, and governance professionals with practical insights into how effective boards oversee risk while continuing to support strategy, innovation, and long-term value creation.
