Our Philosophy
Helping to build better boards & advance exemplary board leadership
The National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) is America's leading provider of board education for public and private company directors. Why? Because we are the only membership organization dedicated exclusively to director education, director training and board research. We promote director professionalism by providing the information, insights and boardroom resources that corporate board members need to confront complex business challenges. Our fellowships, conferences and programs are:
- Led by directors with years of hands-on experience
- Recognized by investors, boards and companies as high-quality, up-to-date and results-oriented
- Delivered online, onsite and on your doorstep, all over the U.S.
All of our board training courses and corporate board member events are based on 35 years of original director research and led by directors who are experts in corporate governance, who have led companies through challenging times and who know which issues matter right now.
NACD director education delivers knowledge when, how and where you want it. Enhance board performance and learn with other directors at our conferences or one of our Director Professionalism® or Master Class foundation courses, close to home at the local NACD Chapter events or our complimentary webinars or in the privacy of your own boardroom with our customized, in-boardroom programs and board evaluations.
