The Pay & Proxy Podcast: “Director Compensation Trends Among the Largest US Companies”

I blogged last month about Compensation Advisory Partners’ annual study of director compensation trends at the 100 largest US public companies. In the latest 22-minute episode of “The Pay & Proxy Podcast,” Meredith discussed more details and observations from the study with CAP’s Daniel Laddin and Matt Vnuk – as well as why & how companies outside of the “top 100” can use these trends. They covered:

1. Median board compensation in fiscal 2023 and expectations going forward

2. Trends in non-employee director pay program design, including pay structure and equity vehicles

3. Compensating board members for committee service and leadership roles

4. Shareholder-approved director compensation limits

5. Suggestions for those who advise on, set, or disclose director pay
