NACD Directorship magazine each year identifies the most influential people in the boardroom community, including directors, corporate governance experts, regulators, and advisors. Promoting continued economic growth remains a priority for policy makers and directors alike. Therefore, our NACD Directorship 100 recognizes those who participate in actual board work who influence how that work is done.
This list is not intended to encompass all the career accomplishments of the Directorship 100 but rather to highlight public, private, and not-for-profit company directorships and primary positions. More extensive profiles appear in the July/August 2019 issue of NACD Directorship magazine.
Honorees and award winners will be celebrated at the NACD Directorship 100 Gala in New York City on June 26, 2019.
