A LISTING OF 2013 - 2014 PROGRAMS
AT AMERICA’S PREMIER ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS
BOARD
D
irector education is a critical component of sound corporate governance,
as reflected in the provisions for continuing education recommended by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the major U.S. exchanges.
In Corporate Board Member’s 2012 What Directors Think Study, 78% of
respondents said that all directors should be required to attend some board
education training. With that in mind, Corporate Board Member presents its
bi-annual Guide to Board Education with a listing of director education
programs at some of America’s premier academic institutions. Some
universities offer general board education programs, while others target
specific board committee members and/or curriculum. The diverse topics and
geographic locations offer a wide variety of viable options for all directors.
We hope this guide on the following pages will help you find a program that
is right for you.
