Evolving Role of Boards and Directors

To begin our 2011‐2012 series of events and seminars, we are very fortunate to welcome to Ottawa, Mrs. Donna Soble Kaufman, who is the new Chair of the Institute of
Corporate Directors.

We have invited Mrs. Kaufman, who has a distinguished career as a lawyer and Director on Boards of many large corporations, numerous Not‐for‐Profit and as a member of the
Prime Minister’s Advisory Committee on the Public Service, to share with us her views on the evolving roles of both the Boards and the Directors who serve on them:

- Key lessons from her extensive Board experience
- How is the role of the Board changing
- What is the vision for the future of the ICD

Penny Collenette will moderate a Conversation with the Chair in an open format which will allow you to pose questions and share in the conversation with her.

We invite you to join us for lunch and a discussion with Donna Kaufman and Penny Collenette on Thursday October 27, 2011.
