Change the Board Game, the inclusive corporate-director initiative launched by e.l.f. Beauty announced the launch of its third National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) cohort, welcoming 22 executives into the program, the largest class to date.

Since the program’s launch in 2024, e.l.f. has partnered with NACD to leverage its Accelerate board readiness program. 

NACD Accelerate has provided participants with governance education, networking opportunities, and resources to help prepare them for board service.

Over 60 executives have now participated in the NACD Accelerate program through the Change the Board Game initiative. Also, 58% of graduates who have completed the program are now serving on boards.

Tarang Amin, Chairman and CEO of e.l.f. Beauty, said, 

“Creating more inclusive boardrooms requires intentionality. Through Change the Board Game, we’re helping exceptional leaders gain the preparation, access and networks needed to secure board opportunities. Seeing more than half of our program graduates already serving on boards reinforces what we have long believed: when talented leaders are given the opportunity, they thrive.”

The 2026 cohort represents a diverse group of accomplished executives from across industries who are preparing to contribute their expertise in the boardroom and help shape the future of corporate governance.
