The National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD), www.nacdonline.org, advances exemplary board leadership - for directors, by directors.  Our team provides the information and insights that board members rely upon to confidently navigate business challenges and enhance long-term shareowner value. Importantly, directors and boards turn to NACD to gain the knowledge and wisdom to become a strategic asset to their companies, and NACD amplifies the collective voice of directors in the national dialogue on board governance issues.  NACD is the Voice of the Director. This is not corporate speak: Our entire organization is focused on meeting the needs of board members, and supporting directors to perform more effectively and efficiently.

The global mission of NACD chapters is to fulfill the national mission and vision of the NACD on the local level. That is, to improve corporate governance performance through better board practice by providing regional forums for educational programming and peer-to-peer level interaction for corporate directors and chief executives. Refer to our “Events” section for upcoming programs.

We cordially invite individual Corporate Directors and entire Corporate Boards, which may include Senior Executives to join our Chapter.
