The premier journal of thought leadership on corporate governance and boardroom issues presents the Corporate Board Member Academic Council.

Leading authorities on board governance, representing some of the country's most prestigious higher education institutions and graduate programs, have been invited to advise both the Corporate Board Member editorial staff and the magazine's readership on the emerging trends in today's corporate boardrooms.

We invite corporate officers, directors, educators, and students to benefit from the observations, research, and roundtable supplements generated by this council and its sister group of academic colleagues who will submit published papers and research under our Academic Affiliates program.

We are proud to have two of America's leading business advisors as sponsors and consultants to our Council and Affiliates programs. PricewaterhouseCoopers, a global big five consulting firm, and Steven Hall & Partners, a compensation consulting firm, provide great balance and experience to facilitate our roundtables and guide the program's development.
