Policy Pulse Series Kickoff

Introducing NACD Chicago’s “Policy Pulse” Series

In today’s fast-moving regulatory and geopolitical environment, board directors must do more than simply stay informed—they must learn to ask the right questions. That’s the spirit behind NACD Chicago’s new Policy Pulse series: a relationship-driven initiative that blends timely insight with collaborative discovery.

Kickoff: In-Studio Forum | June 18

Our live-broadcasted launch event brings together a select panel of policy-savvy experts—from government advisors to economists to corporate strategists—who will each facilitate a brief, provocative conversation focused on the questions boards should be asking right now. Topics such as tariffs, tax shifts, supply chain strategy, education, healthcare as examples, and workforce regulation will serve as jumping-off points—not for lectures, but for active engagement.

Rather than traditional presentations, panelists will interact in real time—with each other and with our virtual audience—to surface the critical questions directors should be raising in their boardrooms. Attendees can raise their hands virtually, contribute perspectives, and help shape a curated list of questions boards must consider in this shifting landscape.

Key Outcomes

• A dynamic list of “Boardroom Questions to Watch” generated through facilitated discussion.

• A highly interactive format that prioritizes relationships, insights, and member-driven dialogue.

• Stronger connections across the NACD Chicago network—between directors, sponsors, and expert voices.
