Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM) announced today that
the company’s lead director, Donald E. Felsinger, was recently
recognized as the 2016 Director of the Year by the National
Association of Corporate Directors (NACD)—a leading nonprofit
membership organization for corporate board members.
Felsinger joined ADM’s Board of Directors in August
2009 and currently serves as its lead director and as a member
of the executive committee.
“We congratulate Don on being recognized as the 2016 Director of
the Year by the National Association of Corporate Directors,” said
Juan Luciano, ADM chairman and CEO. “Don has demonstrated
extraordinary leadership as the lead director of our board over the
past two years. With his insights, we have enhanced a number of
corporate governance measures to drive increased transparency and
better represent shareholder interests.
“Don has engaged with shareholders to gain valuable feedback on
ADM’s corporate governance while acting as a great advocate for
ADM’s board and management,” Luciano added. “From a personal
standpoint, Don has been a close and trusted adviser, and I have
benefited from his experience and expertise.”
The Director of the Year honor is part of the NACD’s 2016 NACD
Directorship 100, the annual list that recognizes the leading
corporate directors, corporate-governance experts, policymakers and
influencers who significantly impact boardroom practices and
performance. For nearly four decades, NACD has recognized
individual directors who serve as role models in promoting
exemplary board leadership, oversight and courage in the
boardroom.
Nominees are evaluated in four key categories: integrity, mature
confidence, informed judgment and high performance standards. An
independent selection committee reviews each nominee’s history of
advancing board performance and leading corporate-governance
practices in accordance with established NACD principles. The
principles are a framework that encourages excellence in areas
critical to boardroom leadership, including risk oversight,
corporate strategy, compensation and transparency.
