#NACDLeadingMinds of Tech in NYC was an incredible success. Board directors, tech leaders, and governance experts came together for a dynamic day of insights and connections. Here’s what made this event unforgettable: - Tyson Martin, principal CISO advisor for Amazon Web Services (AWS), led an engaging tabletop exercise for generative AI, sharing valuable lessons and insights on how to improve oversight approach, vision, and strategy. - AnnaMaria DeSalva, David Guarrera, Jess Nall, Enzo Santilli, and our very own Peter Gleason offered deeper insights on the latest trends in digital transformation, cybersecurity, and AI during a governance-expert panel outlook and Q&A session. - Board directors had the opportunity to build connections and share strategies for enhancing boardroom effectiveness. Thank you to our speakers, participants, and partners—AWS, Baker McKenzie, EY, and Grant Thornton (US)—who made this event possible. #AI #Cybersecurity #CorporateGovernance

As 2024 comes to a close, I’ve taken time to reflect on our progress and the road ahead in my year-end letter. In a world of constant change, the role of the corporate director continues to evolve — and with it, new opportunities to drive meaningful impact. With the support of NACD resources and a powerful community of peers, directors are uniquely positioned to guide their organizations toward a stronger future. History is in the making, and you are at the helm. I have every confidence in your ability to lead with purpose and vision. As we prepare to step boldly into 2025, let’s honor the ever-evolving role of the director and continue to lead together.
