[edit] Payment for board members
"Inside directors usually are not paid for sitting on a board in its own right, but the duty is instead considered part of their larger job description. Outside directors on a board likewise are often unpaid for their services and sit on the board as a volunteer in addition to their other jobs."
Why is a distinction made between inside directors and outside directors, if the same is said about both types? You can just say
Board directors usually are not paid, but instead the duty is considered part of their larger job description. -Pgan002 (talk) 07:27, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Non-executive directors are nearly always paid
Do you really think they sit on a board of a listed company out of good will?
Normally remuneration comprises Directors' fees (base plus Board Committee fees), superannuation contributions and retirement benefits. Share options are also a possibility. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.65.143 (talk) 13:33, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Interlocking Boards of Directors?
It's sort of a paranoid thought, but it would explain a great deal of financial issues; can the CEO of one corporation be on the Board of Directors of a second corporation? That is, can everybody in diverse industries basically vote each other a raise, essentially unopposed? How else would some of these people be paid so much to be so stupid? -- TheLastWordSword (talk) 00:03, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Directors
The article had disjointed, conflicting, and unsourced material about directors, inside directors, executive directors, outside directors, and non-executive directors. I found a lot of references and combined the material on these subjects into one section of the article. I tried hard not to disrupt the other material too much. --Lou Sander (talk) 02:24, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Positions
What all are the different positions under Board of Directors? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.88.128.202 (talk) 11:02, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
- Each organization determines that for itself. Almost always there is a Chairman. Lou Sander (talk) 12:19, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
[edit] What about payment?
I think that there should be a separate section, devoted to the subject of payment and compensation of members of a board, how much it is, if it differs between business corporations and institutions such as museums and universities, and so on and so forth
