SFGH is pleased to announce that Jeremy Waitzman will serve as a panelist at an upcoming West LegalEd Center/Financial Poise webinar titled “The Role of the Board in a Private Company."  The webinar will take place on June 4, 2018 at 11:00a.m.

Private company owners, including family businesses, ESOPs, and private equity owners, often have different expectations for their boards than is common in publicly traded firms. Besides being much less encumbered by regulatory compliance, many private firms are looking for a completely different kind of engagement from directors. In companies with new boards, leaders and directors often struggle early on to determine the role of the board and how to separate board responsibilities from those of ownership and management. In this webinar, the audience will learn what companies are really looking for (or should be) from their boards, and the many ways that boards contribute to private company success.
