Banking Boards

The interest in board of director opportunities is at an all-time high, as larger-than-ever pools of baby boomers reach the age of consideration for board membership. It's not surprising because a director who is a retired executive can balance their time commitments yet participate in interesting and valuable services while engaging with other high performance individuals. Historically one does not take on a board seat for the money. Generally total compensation for a director (cash and stock) is in the range of $150,000, with some lower and some higher. However, a recent article reported that director compensation for the big banks has skyrocketed. For instance, Goldman Sachs directors received almost $500,000 per year, a figure that was up over 50% from 2008. On average, banks compensate their board members $95,000 more than other large corporations. This is an interesting situation considering that executive pay at the banks is under severe pressure and compensation is on the decline. Go figure.
