Bass, Berry & Sims is proud to sponsor and host the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) upcoming meeting in Nashville, “From Tradition to Transformation: The Role of Outside Directors in Private/Family Firms.” This event will take place on Tuesday, September 16, from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. CT, at the firm’s Nashville Office.
Family businesses and private companies represent the backbone of the American economy, yet many operate without the benefit of independent board oversight that has become standard practice in public companies. As these organizations face increasing complexity, regulatory pressures, and multi-generational transitions, the decision to move “from tradition to transformation” by adding outside directors has never been more critical.
This exclusive program brings together seasoned governance leaders to explore the unique dynamics, challenges, and opportunities of serving as an independent director for closely held and family-owned companies. Whether you’re a current director seeking to expand your board portfolio into private companies, a family business leader considering board expansion, or a governance professional advising private clients, this program will provide invaluable insights into one of the most significant yet underexplored areas of directorship.
