About

Get a first look at Athena Academy’s Board Readiness Course in this live sample session with Erin Essenmacher. Erin will unpack what directors actually do—and how to shift from operating to true oversight. You’ll explore core board responsibilities, the director’s duty of care, and how boards calibrate risk appetite across strategy, cyber/AI, and compliance. Erin will also preview the course structure: eight weeks, live and cohort-based, with Part I focused on board roles and responsibilities and Part II on building your personalized board search strategy. Expect practical case studies (from food safety to AI bias in hiring) and candid discussion on why diverse boards drive better outcomes.
