During this session, speakers will lead delegates through a series of hypothetical scenarios that showcase the nuances of how a FOCI mitigated company can balance the roles of an outside director with its foreign parent. Delegates are encouraged to participate in anonymous live polling for enhanced benchmarking. Key topics will include:

  • Approaching the role of an outside director when the FOCI mitigated company has no classified work, but is carrying a clearance for contract
  • Balancing the needs and wants of the parent company and the shareholders
  • What needs to be reported to the government security committee
  • Documenting the government security committee meeting, and justifying how a company is in compliance with the NISPOM
