David will share insights from KPMG’s latest research on the 2020 agenda for boards and board committees. Drawing on insights from their work and interactions with board chairs, lead directors, and board governance and business leaders, KPMG has identified the top items boards and committees should consider as they focus their 2020 agendas on the critical challenges at hand and on the road ahead. Issues such:

• -Focusing on board composition, prioritizing diversity and alignment with strategy
