Our board unanimously agreed that NACD’s independent, objective feedback on director performance resulted in an overall improvement in board and committee governance.

Scott D. Chaplin General Counsel and Corporate Secretary Alliant Techsystems Inc.

Some of the best, if not the best, facilitators I have ever seen. There is literally nothing I would change.

The experienced directors who taught the course took the time to understand our business. It was a great program for our management team.

NACD advisors conducted our first-ever Individual Board member evaluation program, which provided insights we could not have obtained on our own. They then conducted a one-day Director Professionalism® program, which was an excellent learning experience. We took this to the next level by providing educational sessions prior to select board meetings on topics pertinent to our business.
