New Officers, Board Members Drive the Advocacy of Directorship at NACD North Texas

For over 40 years, NACD—the nonprofit National Association of Corporate Directors—has promoted corporate governance and standards of excellence to elevate board performance nationwide. NACD’s North Texas Chapter does its part with the help of top local business leaders, and it recently announced new chapter officers and board members for 2022-2023.

The new slate of leaders will oversee programs and series NACD offers year round, like the recent Signature Series: Embracing Flexibility and Change; peer-to-peer meetings like the one moderated by Donna Epps last month; VRT Expert Series like a recent one on “Key Executive Compensation Themes from the 2022 Proxy Season,” and more. The annual national NACD Summit will be held October 8-11 in Washington, D.C.

Meet the new slate of officers and board members:
