THE CENTER’S PURPOSE
A Focus on Systemic Change
We believe that NACD, its members, and partners have a unique opportunity to bring together their expertise, resources, and influence to create systemic change that will shape the American boardroom. The NACD Center for Inclusive GovernanceTM is based on a shared understanding that a diverse and inclusive board is critical to long-term value creation for every organization and to society more broadly.
What We Do
Build a More Inclusive Boardroom
Thought leadership, events, and credentialing help directors to understand their role in diversifying the boardroom and in creating an environment that embraces equity and welcomes new perspectives.
Embolden the Ecosystem
NACD is uniquely positioned to convene members, regulators, corporations, and other partners to execute our commitment to boardroom diversity. We know the greatest change comes when we unite with others.
