NACD B. Kenneth West Lifetime Achievement Award

The annual B. Kenneth West Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes a director whose distinguished boardroom service throughout their career best exemplifies the characteristics modeled by the former NACD CEO for whom the award is named. Honorees are recognized for their dedication to effective leadership, their improvement of corporate governance, and the demonstrable impact they have had in their communities and throughout their boardroom service to public, private, or nonprofit entities.
