ABOUT NACD

Founded in 1977, NACD is a national nonprofit membership organization dedicated exclusively to serving the corporate governance needs of corporate boards and individual board members. NACD’s 17,500 members and customers represent companies ranging from Fortune 100 public companies to small, over-the-counter, closely held, and private firms.

NACD promotes high professional board standards, creates forums for peer interaction, enhances director effectiveness, communicates and monitors the policy interests of directors, conducts benchmarking research, and educates boards and directors concerning traditional and cutting-edge issues.

The Northern Chapter was formed in 2006 so that it could bring NACD programming closer to Northern California Boards and its Directors. Meetings are scheduled in San Francisco or Sacramento. Topics are always varied and reflect what is happening in our society and the corporate world.
