The event started with Helio's speech, giving a brief exposition about Corporate Governance and Councils, their structures and systems, giving an introduction to the lecture. After that, Claudia presented a little of her life story, where she has been until she reached the Board of 5 large companies, and also about the important role of governance in companies.

During the chat part, the members could ask questions or expose their curiosities in relation to the speakers and their experiences, which were always answered in a very transparent way. The speakers were able to expose their opinions, criticisms, methodologies, suggestions, and advice, making the evening's learning even more enriching, thus making this an excellent event!
