Dec 17, 2025

The honor of board service comes with significant responsibilities, and few are as challenging as setting CEO compensation. Get it right, and you strengthen your organization’s reputation, ensure legal compliance, and retain strong leadership. Get it wrong, and the risk is public criticism, regulatory red flags, or losing the people driving your mission forward. With budget season approaching and oversight intensifying, this webinar was designed for board members who are looking for practical tools to make informed decisions about CEO compensation.

Watch our webinar recording below to learn:

  • Sample questions to guide boardroom conversations
  • Tools to evaluate “reasonable” compensation
  • Confidence to make sound, legally defensible decisions
  • Q&A with a sitting CEO and legal expert
