NACD Establishes First-Ever Standard for Corporate Director Education

The National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD), the standard setter for responsible board leadership, today announced the first-ever standard for corporate director education. Establishing a standard in director education creates much-needed clarity about the knowledge and competencies directors should develop in today’s dynamic and constantly evolving business environment. Using its proprietary framework, NACD’s director education standard creates the most comprehensive director knowledge pathway—from awareness and insights to mastery. With 40 years of experience in developing leading and next-level boardroom practices, NACD’s Director Education Framework maps core responsibilities of the board to critical areas of director competency that are essential to a director’s ability to lead with confidence in the boardroom.
