Lunch conversations: When risk goes quiet

Organizations rarely fail because they lack policies or controls. More often, risk grows when concerns go unspoken, questions go unasked, and important information never reaches the people who need to hear it.

Join fellow HR, Compliance, Risk, Legal, and business leaders for a thought-provoking breakfast discussion featuring Patsy Doerr, Chief People and Culture Officer at LRN; Donna Haddad, AI Ethics and Governance Expert, Global Executive Leader, and General Counsel; and Jerry Baker, Senior Director of Compliance at Trustmark. Together, they'll explore how organizational culture, ethical leadership, compliance, and AI governance shape risk visibility and influence whether employees feel empowered to speak up.

Through expert insights and peer discussion, attendees will gain practical strategies for fostering psychological safety, strengthening governance, improving risk awareness, and building more resilient organizations.
