Board Education

Daly & Company has made a major commitment to board education.

This is carried out by its offering of The Directors Letter. This is a wholly owned subsidiary which is published on a biweekly basis. The Directors Letter is an electronic newsletter covering 20 to 25 topics that are relevant to individuals involved in board level activities. Accompanying the majority of these articles is an editorial note, written by directors emphasizing why the event covered is important and board related.

The Directors Spotlight is another related product which conducts video interviews with directors and other professionals discussing a single board level topic. In recent months this has included topics such as: The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Director Risk and D & O Insurance, The Independent Director on a Rapid Growth Board, a Review of the 2011 Proxy Season, and The Board Impact of the European Debt Crisis. These videos are available for selective viewing on our website.

Both The Directors Letter and The Directors Spotlight are available on an individual subscription basis for an annual cost of $249. Corporate subscriptions are also available. Both are considered to be excellent sources of executive and board education. www.thedirectorsletter.com

Board Leaders is membership education organization for directors of which we were one of the original founders. It is located in Boston and has approximately 100 members who are directors. The members meet 7 to 8 times a year to discuss, in an interactive breakfast format, a single topic such as: Board Evaluation, ISS guidelines 2012, Risk Beyond the Balance Sheet and Board Level Crisis Management. Members are always content contributors along with an occasional outside expert. Membership in Board Leaders is on a referral basis. www.boardleaders.net

In conjunction with Board Leaders, we are continuing to develop and sell training videos for board and senior management education. These would include: Crisis Management, a case study, Giving a Legal Deposition and an interactive training video on The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The last is applicable to the board, legal and audit functions  and the worldwide field sales force. These are sold directly to corporations on individual basis by Daly & Company.
