IoD To Hold Panel Discussion On Thursday
The Institute of Directors [IoD] Bermuda will be holding a panel discussion titled ‘What Directors Need to Know for the Year to Come’ on Thursday [Jan 27].
A spokesperson said, “The Institute of Directors Bermuda will kick off its 2022 professional development programme with an in-depth panel discussion titled ‘What Directors Need to Know for the Year to Come.’
“The event, which is in conjunction with KPMG, is free and will take place virtually from 4pm to 5.30pm on Thursday, January 27th. All members of the public are invited to attend and can register on the Events page of the IoD Bermuda website.
“This informative and forward thinking discussion will be moderated by Mike Morrison, KPMG in Bermuda CEO, and attendees can look forward to hearing the insights of Nathan Kowalski, president, Bermuda Chamber of Commerce; Shanna Lespere, COO, Bermuda Monitory Authority; Will McCallum, head of tax, KPMG in Bermuda, and Sara Schroter, co-chair, IoD Bermuda, as they look ahead to key trends impacting company operations such as the pandemic, corporate environmental, social and governance [ESG], company culture and more.”
Mr. Morrison said, “2022 may well be an inflection point for the economy in Bermuda with a number of issues converging – economic recovery post Covid [if you believe we are post Covid], the ESG imperative, including a small island like Bermuda is part of an early warning system and is the natural fit as the climate risk capital of the world, as well as the fight for talent across many facets of business.
“It will be insightful hearing from this cross section of industry leaders on what boards and directors need to be considering now. I look forward to leading the discussion.”
The spokesperson said, “IoD Bermuda is the Island’s leading resource for professionalism and excellence in boardrooms across all sectors of the economy and regularly partners with industry leading organisations to deliver professional development, as well as education and networking, for both practicing and aspiring company and nonprofit directors.”
Danielle Riviere, IoD Bermuda executive director, said, “Working with KPMG to offer this professional development session allows the IoD to work with a company vested in providing valuable learning opportunities for our leadership community.
“The importance of collaborating with local companies to deliver insight on trending topics ensures members have access to knowledge experts like the team at KPMG.”
The spokesperson said, “To register or learn more about the ‘What Directors Need to Know for the Year to Come’ panel discussion please visit www.iod.bm/events or email info@iod.bm. Visitors can also learn more about other upcoming events including a second panel discussion, also with KPMG, titled: 2022 Eurasia Group’s Top 10 Geopolitical Risks, which will take place in February, 2022.”
