About NACD Florida
The National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) Florida Chapter seeks an Executive Director to lead one of the country’s most dynamic communities of corporate board directors and governance leaders. Our1800+ members oversee companies that employ thousands, steward billions in capital, and shape the long‑term direction of industries, communities, and markets.
The Role The Executive Director is responsible for the day‑to‑day leadership, operations, and growth of the NACD Florida Chapter. This is a highly visible role that blends strategic execution, board partnership, program leadership, and sponsor engagement.
The Executive Director does more than manage operations. This leader partners closely with the Chapter Board to deliver high impact programming, strengthen membership engagement, and expand sponsorship relationships across Florida. This leader helps create the environment in which directors sharpen judgment, exchange perspective, and elevate their governance practices.
This role is part‑time (25–30 hours per week) and will be supported by a part‑time Chapter Administrator and contract resources (e.g., bookkeeping, design work) as needed. The role requires travel to events across Florida and the ability to travel to Washington, DC, in August. The workload is heavier from September through May when NACD Florida runs programs and lighter in the summer months, thus providing a flexible structure with high strategic impact.
