Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors is a group of people who meet a set of General Criteria for membership and are elected to the Board by our shareholders each year. We currently have 12 Board members, 11 of whom are "independent" under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

  • Forms standing Board Committees to assist in fulfilling its obligations.
