From research online I found that most Board members had a mix of both public and restricted stock depending on the person. 4. All of the board members are seasoned CEO’s of their own corporations, many of which have been the best of their expertise for decades and served on many other boards. 5. The year each member of the board joined is adjacent to their names. 6. Members of the board do not only “rubber stamp” management decisions but are also excited to use their talents and ideas to further better the company. For example, in his bio on Apple.com, it is stated about that Ron Sugar that: “In addition to having been the CEO of a high-tech Fortune 100 company, Ron has a Ph.D. in engineering and has been involved in the development of some very sophisticated technology.”

    Chapter 14 Essay

    Having a passionate member who is in it for the organization and not for the money like most board of directors today would be an ideal candidate and he/she would be willing to sacrifice those most scalable attributes while they consult. That is because attributes of honesty, hard work, thought leadership and authentic passion around your line of work is the key to increased profitability. Another quality member I would also consider is someone who is action-oriented. By that I mean someone who is not just going to talk-the-talk but is also going to walk-the-walk or the words someone is not going to just give advice but a member who is going to give the advice and take action and to participate instead of just shouting out big words.…

    Should CEOs Be on the Board and Should They Have Voting Rights?

    By direction of the board, a foundation’s top executive staff person (titled CEO for this discussion) manages all aspects of the organization. CEOs typically oversee the foundation’s money, time and human resources and act as a liaison between the board and staff. Rather than keeping the CEO in a strictly managerial position, some boards award them a role in governance as well, offering the CEO full membership—and in some cases, voting rights—on the board. CEOs who sit on the board hold a position of great privilege but also great responsibility. With an equal voice at the board table, CEOs can enjoy more stature and influence among board members. Yet, at times, they may feel conflicted between the two roles—caught in a constant balancing act between day-to-day operations and big-picture decision making. In a similar debate, some boards believe the CEO should be on the board to help inform their decisions; others think it gives the CEO too much power. This board briefing will help your board consider three main questions: what are the advantages and limitations of CEOs on boards? If the CEO is on the board, should he or she have full voting rights? How do your colleagues approach this decision? Background The model for CEOs serving on the board started in the corporate world. Most for-profit corporations position their CEO as the chair or president of the board. Foundations that follow this model often call their top executive CEO (as opposed to executive director or foundation manager). Following such corporate practice is atypical for foundations. Survey data in the table below suggests only about 25% of foundation CEOs serve as voting board members and just a small percentage of foundations CEOs are voting board member while also serving as board chair.…
