NACD and Director Members Provide Leadership to Restore Public & Investor Confidence

Directors and boards are stepping forward together to lead the charge in restoring public and investor confidence. On March 24th, the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) launched America's Challenge for Corporate Directors: Renew Commitment to Corporate Governance and Oversight Excellence. This national campaign asks boards to make a voluntary commitment to engage with and adopt the NACD Key Agreed Principles as a framework for governance and to share their progress. Boards that choose to complete the challenge will be recognized for their leadership role with a Seal of Excellence.

In just a short period of time, hundreds of directors have signed on to the Challenge website. Several boards have adopted the Principles and shared their experiences publicly. Congress, shareholders and the public have expressed enthusiastic support for this leadership effort by the Director community. News of the challenge has spread far and wide – carried in hundreds of media outlets and generating more than a billion impressions.
