Loribeth Weinstein is CEO emerita of JWI.

It's one thing to have a strong working relationship and partnership with your board of directors, but how do you navigate the challenges when it becomes personal - in particular when you are discussing your compensation and benefits.?

A strong board strengthens the mission and work of the organization, opens doors of opportunity, leads in the important work of governance, and partners with the CEO advancing the programmatic agenda. But a perfect description does not necessarily address some of the thornier issues that challenge CEOs and their boards. This session focuses on the strengths and challenges that boards present to their CEO, and in particular what happens when it comes time for the CEO to negotiate with her board.
