NEW YORK, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Paul DeNicola, Director of The Conference Board Governance Center and Directors' Institute, has been named to the Directorship 100, a list of the most influential individuals in corporate governance.

Published by Directorship magazine on October 14, the list recognizes the people and institutions that are shaping agendas in boardrooms across America.

"In his work with The Conference Board, Paul DeNicola has consistently shown his knowledge, dedication, and resourcefulness in guiding today's business leaders," says Jeffrey M. Cunningham, chairman, CEO, and editorial director of Directorship. "His placement within the Directorship 100 reflects his sizable contributions to informed thinking on corporate governance."

The selection process involved a distinguished board of advisers, reader surveys, and the editors of Directorship.

"Paul has a deep passion and expertise in Corporate Governance, and we're fortunate to have him leading our work in this area," says Jon Spector, CEO of The Conference Board.
