Report of the NACD Blue Ribbon Commission on the Governance Committee

The Report on the NACD Blue Ribbon Commission on the Governance Committee: Driving Board Performance, Best Practices and Key Resources provides up-to-date guidance on best practices and takes stances in some controversial areas.

Governance committees are at the crossroads of change. The challenge for these committees is to focus on performance rather than mere compliance. Transcending conformity with governance rules and regulations, the committee can and should become the board’s performance committee, helping directors across their range of responsibilities to continually add value to the board and the corporation.
