FCD Vision
We are Orange County’s leading resource
for achieving Board excellence.
For business leaders who seek out the best of corporate Board capabilities,
the Forum for Corporate Directors is the one professional organization
raising the governance bar within our business community.
FCD Mission
We promote the highest standards of corporate ethics and best governance practices, create a dynamic forum for director peer interactions and enhance director effectiveness through high-quality and timely education and development programs.
Just as the best of corporate Boards consistently demonstrate transparency, independence and accountability on behalf of their shareholders, so too does our Mission demonstrate our position as an intellectual warehouse of best corporate governance practices.
How Does My Board...
- Support the CEO and management team in meeting corporate goals?
- Drive shareholder value and long-term growth?
- Ensure regulatory compliance and mitigate risks?
It's no longer business as usual for more corporate boards - especially if you're the director or an executive in a publicly held company. The changing regulatory environment and investor expectations require directors to seek more information and education in order to fulfill their responsibilities. FCD's programs will update you on the latest legal and regulatory changes affecting directors as well as the strategic role that boards will increasingly play in ensuring success of the enterprise. Some of the topics that FCD regularly addresses at our monthly events include:
- Board responsibilities in selecting and supporting the CEO
- Strategic oversight by the board in achieving long-term goals
- Evaluating and enhancing board effectiveness
- Regulatory issues facing the board and executives
- Liability of directors and officers
- Best practices in board structure and corporate governance
