About The Event

Member Price: Complimentary

Non Member Price: $40.00

Credits: 1 NACD Credit

NACD New York is proud to present a special panel discussion on one of our most requested topics: the board director’s journey — how it begins, evolves, and endures.

Join four members of our NACD New York Chapter Board as they share how they secured their first board seats, how their board careers have progressed, and how they stay current in a rapidly changing governance landscape. They will also offer their perspectives on what the future holds for board leadership.

Each of our distinguished speakers has been recognized by NACD as part of the Directorship 100 (D100) — celebrating the most influential leaders in corporate governance.

We look forward to welcoming you to this engaging virtual event.
