Corporate Board Member
Corporate Board Member was founded in 1998 as part of Board Member Inc., alongside Bank Director magazine. From the start, the focus was clear—serve public company directors as governance became more complex and board expectations continued to rise.
Corporate Board Member hosted its first Boardroom Summit in New York. At the time, there were few forums designed exclusively for directors. The Summit helped establish a new standard—off-the-record, peer-level discussion among public company board members dealing with real governance challenges.
Corporate Board Member was acquired by the New York Stock Exchange and operated as NYSE Governance Services until 2017. During this period, Corporate Board Member expanded its reach and deepened its role within the public company governance community.
Corporate Board Member was spun out and acquired by Chief Executive Group. Since then, it has continued to evolve as a trusted, independent resource for public company directors—through research, events, peer exchanges, editorial programming and a membership network that aligns with CEG’s mission to serve C-Suite executives through its other peer groups for Chief Executives and CFOs.
