The New York Stock Exchange launched its Board Advisory Council (BAC) in 2019 to address the critical need for diverse, inclusive leadership on public and private company boards.
Through a mock proxy battle, Sidley lawyers, Kai H.E. Liekefett, Katie LaVoy and Spotlight Director Greg Taxin led the group through the steps boards need to proactively take before faced with an actual proxy battle.
The NYSE hosted the 2022 BAC Networking Forum in September, connecting seventeen companies to forty-seven qualified candidates during two hours of interviewing for open board positions.
Candidates also benefitted from listening to keynote speaker Tissa Richards give an insightful presentation on how candidates can sharpen their board bios and interviewing skills.
