NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. corporate directors are optimistic about the economy's strength moving into 2011 and beyond, according to the quarterly NACD Board Confidence Index (BCI), a leading indicator of the health of the economy as viewed through the corporate boardroom lens. The Q4 2010 survey conducted by the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD), Heidrick & Struggles and Pearl Meyer & Partners, revealed a gain in confidence of almost 14% compared to last quarter, and reinforces the positive assessment of the economy that President Obama offered in his recent State of the Union address. NACD's BCI for Q4 2010 rose to 64.4, reflecting a positive outlook about long-term economic growth amidst rising corporate profits and a rebounding stock market.
