WASHINGTON, July 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The National Association of Corporate Directors
(NACD) announced today the 10 finalists for its 2024 Diversity,
Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Awards. The NACD DE&I
Awards™, first launched in 2018, celebrate and recognize

ecosystem.
The following finalists have demonstrated leadership in how
their composition, culture and practices align with their company's
DE&I objectives; how the board's approach to DE&I benefits
the organization and external stakeholders; and how the company's
DE&I initiatives have driven innovation.
The 10 finalists are
- Bally's Corporation,
- CommonSpirit Health,
- Delta Dental of Washington,
- ECMC Group,
- Gilead Sciences,
- Granite Construction Inc.,
- Horizon Mutual Holdings Inc.,
- Northwestern Mutual,

"NACD's DE&I Awards are a beacon for the ever-evolving
corporate governance and business landscape. We are proud to
recognize the 10 finalists who are a driving force behind change in
the boardroom and throughout their organizations," said NACD
president and CEO, Peter
Gleason.
In December, three of the 10 companies will be recognized as
NACD DE&I Award winners at the NACD Directorship 100™ Awards
Gala. Together, the DE&I Awards and the Directorship 100 Awards
celebrate and recognize the most influential within the corporate
governance community — those who demonstrate excellence in the
boardroom through innovation, courage and integrity.
An independent, external selection committee comprising
directors and subject-matter experts will select the three award
recipients from the group of 10 finalists. Visit the Center for
