Government Contractors today depend on advanced technology and information systems to support their customers’ missions, yet face a rapidly evolving threat environment, as shown in the SolarWinds, Colonial Pipeline, and Microsoft Exchange attacks. Manufacturing shortages for critical components only magnify these risks.
Recent and coming regulation is setting new standards for government contractor supply chains, and long-standing tools like the Defense Production Act are seeing renewed attention.
This program will cover the current landscape, and what contractors should be considering in preparing for the road ahead.
This program will cover: * Issues facing defense and national security supply chains * Potential supply chain impacts arising under President Biden’s Cybersecurity EO * Current trends regarding supplier exclusions (e.g., Section 889 of the FY2019 NDAA) * Risk mitigation strategies for addressing supply chain disruptions and shortages
Presented by Justin A. Chiarodo, Partner and Chair, Government Contracts Practice and Robyn N. Burrows, Associate, at Blank Rome LLP, Viet Tran, Senior Counsel at Raytheon Technologies and Alicia K. Lynch, Senior Vice President and Chief Security Officer at Cognizant.
Each passing year puts boards of directors in an ever more complicated environment of legislative and regulatory burdens, shareholder and other stakeholder activism, and economic and political pressures. The past year brought more complications than most and having an effective board of directors is more vital than ever. Whether sitting on a public or private company board, directors must ensure they are addressing the numerous competing interests and ultimately discharging their fiduciary duties.
Join our panelists as they discuss the latest thinking on the elements and practical aspects of a high-functioning board, a well-structured board meeting, and the role of in-house counsel in facilitating board effectiveness. Components discussed will include the development of a strategic agenda for meetings, the timing and preparation of board informational materials, the relationship between directors and management, the role of lead independent directors, the preparation of minutes, and many other related topics.
