Our members' enthusiasm for our classroom and virtual programs suggest that they are genuinely committed to continuous learning, not because they're forced to, or because someone is giving them a check mark, but because they really want to know and to grow. NACD has extended its curriculum in 2010 to keep up with demand from public company directors. This year we will run our Director Professionalism cornerstone program 4 times in different parts of the country and have supplemented this with two new programs. Director Professionalism-The Master Class is designed for lead directors and committee chairs and will run twice in 2010. This is in addition to the lively educational agendas offered by our 22 chapters and our complimentary webinar series addressing audit, compensation and boardroom excellence fundamentals. Directors know that the speed of economic and political change and the increasing complexity of board work means that education is a must-have--they're demanding it for themselves. Those who complete our Director Professionalism course will earn their Certificate of Director Education and we provide transcripts for directors who attend all our programs to share with their boards. NACD is proud to be at the forefront of director education, and pleased to work with so many seated directors who are creating, sharing and applying knowledge.
