The Board highlights strong governance features, including an independent chair, separation of CEO and chair roles, majority voting with resignation policies, proxy access, and stock ownership guidelines. Ten of 11 nominees are independent, with an average tenure of 5.5 years and a mix of technology, retail, finance and leadership experience, plus diversity in gender, race and age.
