Elevating Board Leadership: High-Value CEO Evaluation & Compensation
Thursday, September 25, 2025 (8:30 AM - 9:30 AM) (EDT)
Description
Catapult Executive Consulting
Exclusive Event: Elevating Board Leadership
Join us for a high-impact conversation on one of the most powerful—yet often overlooked—tools in the Board’s arsenal: CEO evaluation and compensation strategy. This session will explore how these processes, when approached strategically, can clarify expectations, align leadership with organizational goals, and reinforce the kind of performance that drives long-term value.
At this exclusive event, Catapult Co-President Marsha Koelmel and Compensation Practice Leader Julia Culkin-Jacobia will share fresh thinking and real-world insights to help Board members elevate their approach and make every evaluation and compensation decision count.
You’ll gain insights on:
- Why the CEO evaluation process is often underleveraged — and how to fix it
- Ways to align pay with purpose, strategy, and measurable results
- Governance practices that build trust and withstand scrutiny
When done well, these processes go beyond compliance. They clarify expectations, strengthen alignment, and reinforce the kind of leadership that drives long-term value. If you serve on a board, this is your opportunity to gain practical, high-value insights you can take back to the boardroom immediately.
