Sep 15 2026

*REPEAT SESSION

Corporate governance is no longer just a boardroom concept, it is an essential part of the modern executive office. Yet many EAs are expected to support governance-related work without ever being formally trained in it.

In this interactive masterclass, you’ll demystify corporate governance and explore what it actually looks like operationally inside the executive office. You’ll gain confidence in the language, structures, and rhythms that drive governance work, including board reporting cycles, agenda management, decision tracking, compliance coordination, and executive support responsibilities. Through real-world examples, guided activities, and practical frameworks, you’ll leave with a stronger understanding of how governance functions day-to-day and how you can support it more strategically and confidently.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand the fundamentals of corporate governance in practical, executive office terms
  • Identify the governance rhythms and cycles administrators commonly support
  • Build confidence navigating governance terminology and structures
  • Support board and leadership meeting preparation more effectively
  • Apply practical governance tools such as calendars, board pack checklists, and decision trackers
     

Who Should Attend:

Administrative Professionals who support governance-related work but have never been formally trained in how governance actually works. Ideal for those supporting board reporting cycles, leadership meetings, and compliance coordination who want to operate with greater confidence, strategic understanding, and practical tools.
