About the 2023 Blue Ribbon Commission Report

Culture as the Foundation: Building a High-Performing Board is NACD’s latest work in making boards a stronger strategic asset to their companies. The 2023 Blue Ribbon Commission Report focuses on shaping an intentional board culture that is responsive to change and resilient during crises.

Distinguished cochairs Oscar Munoz and Mary Winston led the 2023 NACD Blue Ribbon Commission, an experienced collective of 24 directors who serve on more than 70 boards in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. The commission closely examined the role of board culture in driving board performance. The result is a report of key recommended actions and practical tools that boards can use and tailor, recognizing that no board culture is the same.
