Participant Stories

The Corporate Governance: Essentials for a New Business Era program was simply incredible. The coursework covered critical topics shaping today’s boardrooms, including a capstone crisis management simulation that blended real world decision making with the pressures of modern social media.

What made this experience especially meaningful was seeing how Wharton Executive Education and NACD Heartland Chapter really complement each other in developing and educating board members. The way Wharton brings the academic rigor together with NACD’s practical, real world governance work created a powerful combination that will have a lasting impact on how I show up in the boardroom. For anyone pursuing or advancing board service, this program is a must attend!

Thank you to the exceptional faculty, guest speakers, and incredible peers who made this experience unforgettable.”
