There are few more important issues in business than executive succession.  If selecting a company's CEO is the key responsibility of corporate boards, then grooming or identifying that CEO's successors runs a close second.  And, succession can occur through transactions as well.  Join this year's roundtable discussion with Terry Phinney (Fmr. C-Suite, Benjamin Moore), Dane Belden (CEO, McGregor Metal) and others with host, David Deutsch (President, David N. Deutsch & Company).
