Directorship® Magazine: Spring 2026
The Spring issue of Directorship examines governance through some of its most complex structures. The feature on family business governance gets at questions boards rarely discuss openly: how ownership concentration shapes risk appetite, where accountability gaps tend to form, and what strong oversight looks like when family dynamics and fiduciary responsibility are pulling in different directions.
Lead with Impact
The first 90 days on a board are when your credibility is established, and your blind spots are most exposed. This virtual, instructor-led program is built around that reality. You will leave with a personalized onboarding roadmap, a sharper understanding of risk and crisis oversight responsibilities, and a clearer sense of how to contribute with confidence from your first meeting.

Directorship Essentials: Risk Oversight
Board risk oversight has grown well beyond financial controls. Enroll to learn how effective directors engage on enterprise risk, what separates real oversight from rubber-stamping, and how to spot gaps before they become crises. The foundation NACD members build their practice on.
The Great Transfer of Risk: Why Boards May Become America’s New Regulators
The governance landscape is shifting in ways that extend well beyond the boardroom. As regulatory responsibility migrates toward the private sector, boards face new expectations for oversight, accountability, and risk leadership. This is the kind of timely, forward-looking analysis NACD members rely on to stay ahead of change—and position their boards to lead through it.
Peer Benchmarking for Board Cyber Oversight
Most boards assume their cyber oversight is adequate. The benchmarking data tells a more complicated story. Be the first on your board to surface the gaps directors don't always see from inside the boardroom and show what rigorous oversight looks like in practice.
