The legal and financial landscape that directors must navigate in order to provide effective oversight will continue to change. Even seasoned directors will find it necessary to make a good-faith effort to stay abreast of rules and trends affecting governance.

The NACD Corporate Directors Institute maintains the following Continuing Education Menu in order to help directors and boards choose educational and awareness programs most appropriate to their tenure, strategic interests, and leadership roles. Programs vary in price, venue (both national and local), and degrees of intensity.

The Certificate of Director Education must be renewed every 24 months by completing 16 total education credits. While the Certificate of Director Education is not a required prerequisite for this menu of continuing education programs, it is recommended.
