Governance Intelligence recently presented our 17th annual Corporate Governance Awards at a gala event in New York, where a few hundred of the best and brightest in the profession got to let their hair down while celebrating success in the field.

The awards honor outstanding achievements by the profession in areas such as hosting AGMs, compliance and ethics programs, ESG reporting, entity management, use of technology, proxy statements, investor engagement and corporate transactions.

In a series of episodes of our podcast Governance Matters we’re talking to some of the winners about the work that helped them land their awards and some of the challenges they see in the coming year.

Nasdaq had quite the bumper evening at the awards. The company won the titles for governance team of the year (large cap), best director training and education program and best ESG reporting (large cap). It was also nominated in the best global entity management category.

In this episode, I speak to Erika Moore, corporate secretary and deputy general counsel at Nasdaq, about the details of the company’s award-winning director training and education program, its first governance roadshow and her team’s successful approach.

The Governance Matters podcast provides listeners with insight into cutting-edge issues of the day for corporate secretaries, general counsel and other governance professionals. The series looks at how the roles of governance professionals and the board – as well as the landscape in which they operate – are evolving.
