NACD Advisory
Councils
NACD Advisory Councils provide a unique, independent forum for leading Fortune 500 corporate directors to engage in substantive dialogue among peers and key stakeholders. Councils serve to identify meaningful solutions to issues confronting today's directors, ultimately strengthening corporate governance, increasing investor confidence, and building public trust in business. Council meetings are highly curated to guarantee a personalized and intimate experience for attendees.
Seats are reserved exclusively for active NACD Corporate Members who serve as committee chairs of Fortune 500 boards (or revenue equivalent).

Councils convene board leaders and committee chairs from leading Fortune 500 companies across a variety of industries to discuss critical business, board, and board committee issues. Confidential peer dialogue provides participants with a broader perspective and access to specific knowledge and governance best practices.
Participants gain new vantage points, actionable solutions, and guidance from peers on timely issues impacting their board committees. Rich connections are formed through direct engagement with peers, regulators, investors, and other critical stakeholders in candid, roundtable dialogues.
