Certified Board Members Demonstrate Their Commitment to Elevating Board Leadership
First Health Advisory announced today that the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) has recognized it CEO, Carter Groome, as NACD Directorship Certified®. Directors who earn this designation signal to boards, investors, and other stakeholders that they are keeping on top of the emerging issues impacting financial performance, regulatory policy, cybersecurity governance, and a changing competitive landscape.
The NACD Directorship Certification®, the nation’s premier certification for board directors, provides a tangible assessment of a director’s understanding of the essential knowledge required to lead in today’s boardrooms. The certification promotes continuous learning and allows directors to demonstrate their governance expertise to the companies they serve and the broader governance community.
“I’m honored to join the distinguished and learned group of NACD Certified Directors who are committed to advancing the highest standards of boardroom excellence,” said Carter Groome, NACD.DC. “The rigorous governance and strategy insights from NACD’s certification program are key assets to the organizations I serve and to my ongoing growth as a director.”
