Encova Insurance today announced that the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) recently recognized Vice President, Internal Audit and Chief Audit Executive Dr. Martin (Skip) John Langlois, Jr. as NACD Directorship CertifiedTM. NACD certified directors who earn NACD Directorship CertificationTM signal to boards, investors and other stakeholders that they possess the highest commitment to continuing director education available in the United States.

Gleason said. “Skip is leading the way in achieving and maintaining the highest credential available to directors in the United States.”
