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
position of Director Emeritus agree to provide advisory and consulting services on such business matters as the
Board may determine. These individuals may attend meetings of the Board but do not vote on Board matters.
