Process
An in-boardroom engagement begins with a planning call between the NACD team and designated client representatives to set expectations and goals for the program. The duration of the actual in-boardroom program varies, with sessions ranging from a two-hour board briefing to a full day session or more, usually taking place at a board meeting or retreat.
