Aspiring Director Program in Las Vegas

If you are an aspiring board director or looking for your next board seat, you do not want to miss this event! Join us for an hour-long program followed by a networking cocktail reception.

Our expert panel will focus on pathways to the boardroom through the experiences of both accomplished and new directors. This program has been offered in Las Vegas for several years as a traditional pathway to a corporate board seat. Given the small number of open board seats of Fortune 500 companies, this year’s event will focus on Fortune 500 publicly traded boards as well as private companies, early-stage companies, and others.

Our expert panel will outline the responsibilities and activities of a corporate board director and will identify key development experiences and characteristics needed to be a board candidate. They will outline the board search process including the mutual due diligence required to ensure a good board match, and provide advice given their experiences as company directors and executives. The panel will also introduce related research materials from NACD’s library in addition to sharing their own journeys to the boardroom.

Featured key takeaways from the program:

1. What are the roles and responsibilities of directors?
2. What informational resources are available to learn about being a director?
3. Next Steps on the Journey, i.e. accountability cohorts, NACD certification, etc.
4. What do companies look for in prospective board members?
