Dinner Topic:
For many senior security leaders, earning a seat on a corporate board represents a compelling next chapter but the path to board service is rarely straightforward. At the Charlotte CISO Dinner, Dorlisa Flur will draw on her years of experience serving across public, private, and nonprofit boards to offer a candid look at how board careers are built.
She’ll explore how the market for cyber and technology expertise on boards is evolving, the different paths CISOs can pursue, and what leaders should consider when determining whether board service fits their longer term goals. The conversation will also examine how CISOs can define their broader value proposition, build the right networks, and position themselves for future opportunities.
Discussion Focus:
- Paths to board service: Understanding traditional and emerging routes to board opportunities and how demand for cyber expertise is evolving.
- Positioning your value: Translating CISO experience into a broader board-level value proposition that extends beyond cybersecurity.
- Building the network: Developing the relationships, visibility, and board readiness that can help open doors to board service.
