This year we received nearly 500 responses from directors who didn’t mind sharing their opinions and comments on these issues. More than 70% came from those who identified themselves as outside directors, and another 20% said they serve as board chair or lead director. Forty-four percent have served on a board for more than 10 years, and another 33% have served five to 10 years. Just over 30% are at companies whose annual revenues are in the $1.1 billion to $5 billion range; another 20% serve companies in the $500 million to $1 billion range. The remainder are fairly evenly split between companies with less than $500 million in revenues and those with revenues $5.1 billion and above.
