Nashville, TN (October 17, 2022) – Clearwater today announced that the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) recently recognized Bob Chaput, company Founder and Executive Chairman, as NACD Directorship Certified^®. Directors who earn this designation signal to boards, investors, and other stakeholders that they are keeping on top of the emerging issues and trends impacting financial performance, disrupting business models, and changing the competitive landscape.

The NACD Directorship Certification program^®, the nation’s premier certification for board directors, provides a tangible assessment of a director’s understanding of the essential knowledge required to lead in today’s boardrooms.
