The Directors’ Education Institute (DEI) at Duke University is an
intensive and innovative two-day program to address the critical
issues facing Boards today. This ISS accredited program is designed
for board chairs, corporate directors, and senior executive officers
of publicly traded companies. Through an examination of topical
issues — such as succession planning, strategy, compensation,
institutional investor activism, financial accounting and reporting,
audit committee practices, ethics, litigation, D&O insurance, and
crisis management — the DEI provides substantive instruction to
participants and the opportunity to engage with peers to develop
best boardroom practices.
With participation from leading executives, corporate directors, policymakers, and experts from the legal and financial services industries, along with academic authorities from The Fuqua School of Business and Duke Law School, the Directors' Education Institute will teach participants how to develop a framework for making informed board decisions and exercising sound business judgment.
