Each year, NACD Directorship identifies the most influential people in the boardroom community, including directors, corporate governance experts, journalists, regulators, academics and counselors. Reviving economic growth remains a priority for policy makers and directors alike. Therefore, our programs strive to offer a balance between those who do actual board work and those who influence how that work is done. Click here to learn more about each honor.

This list is not intended to encapsulate all the career accomplishments of the D100 but rather to highlight at least one noteworthy position. More complete bios will appear in the November/December 2012 issue of NACD Directorship.
