The Directors Roster

The Directors Roster is a detailed record of executives added to corporate boards. The Roster covers a three-month period prior to the publication of each edition of DIRECTORS & BOARDS. It includes companies of all sizes, from billion-dollar blue chips to smaller growth ventures, that have elected new outside directors.

The Roster is organized alphabetically by the company adding the new director(s). Included in each Roster entry are a biographical note on each director and a description of the businesses of both the company adding the new director and of the director's company. (Schools, universities, hospitals, etc., are not described.) For public companies, to give a sense of the size and scope of the enterprise, we also include revenues (or, in some cases, assets for banks and certain financial institutions). The companies and directors spotlighted in the published roster are only a sample of those included in the online roster, which will be available soon to subscribers.

We welcome your announcements of new directors, and your inquiries on any matters related to the Directors Roster and director data. E-mail: kmccarthy@directorsandboards.com.
