# Nominating and Governance Committees: Top Issues for 2026

Spencer Stuart (Jan 7, 2026) "Nominating and Governance Committees: Top Issues for 2026" positions the N/G committee as critical for ensuring the board can oversee and support the management team and remain responsive to shareholders, and surfaces key focus areas for the year ahead — including composition refresh against AI and geopolitical disruption pressures, succession planning into a more uncertain CEO market, and director accountability when annual assessments expose underperformance. Useful sizing tool for SEA mid-market boards where N/G committees are often informal or merged with audit/risk.
