The Directors Academy provides corporate governance education and training for future board members from diverse backgrounds who are underrepresented on boards of directors via the NextGen Directors program. The goal is to better prepare senior executives for their first board experience. The program is taught by practitioners with extensive board experience in a wide variety of public and private companies, and University of California, Berkeley faculty who address emerging topics of importance to boards.
The NextGen program advances the Directors Academy mission through the sponsorship and participation of high-performing senior executive talent and access to future board opportunities.
