What is our Director Emeritus program, and when was it initiated?
In 2003, we initiated our Director Emeritus program for directors who have, in the opinion of the Board,
provided long and meritorious service as members of the Board. Individuals who accept appointment to the

Board may determine. By standing invitation from the Board, these individuals may attend meetings of the
Board, but do not vote on Board matters.
