The mission of the NACD Heartland Chapter is to encourage professional excellence and self-improvement in the boardroom.  Members share a commitment to conscientious governance and a quest for excellence in the organizations they serve.

The NACD Heartland Chapter provides educational programs for board members and CEOs. Our meetings focus on both the practical aspects of board service and the latest developments and best practices in corporate governance.

We encourage participation by both new and experienced directors and CEOs. Our panelists and our members include directors and senior executives from both public and private companies, as well as not-for-profit organizations.

Our parent organization, the National Association of Corporate Directors, is the premier source of corporate governance information, education and training for directors and CEOs who are committed to raising standards and improving boardroom performance. NACD is independent, apolitical and not-for-profit.
