They will cover the following areas:

• When do you need a Board of Directors?

• What roles do the Directors play?

• What should the board composition look like at different stages of the company?

• How are the board members recruited and decided on?

The panelists will also share a typical board meeting for a life sciences company and for a physical sciences company to help the audience understand what the board covers during meetings.
