NACD Announces New Programs for Pre-IPO and Small-Cap Public Companies

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) today announced two new in-boardroom education programs designed to help pre-IPO and small-cap public companies create boards that will drive shareholder value.

In these programs, CEOs, directors and executives will learn not only how exemplary board performance can give them a competitive advantage, but also how to preempt campaigning by activist shareholders.

"We understand the unique challenges of governing small-cap public companies," said Ken Daly, President and CEO of NACD. "Our programs provide practical guidance for creating a strategic asset board, are customized for each board we work with, and are presented in-boardroom by directors with hands-on industry experience."

"In 2014, nearly 75 percent of activist campaigns targeted small-cap companies," said.Adam J. Epstein, former institutional investor and author of The Perfect Corporate Board: A Handbook for Mastering the Unique Challenges of Small-Cap Companies. He tells the pre-IPO and small-cap companies he advises that they can no longer afford to ignore corporate governance best practices, "NACD programs can help you to construct and manage boards that will attract the right kind of investor interest with growth in your share price."
