Term: Staggered Board of Directors

Description: A staggered board of directors, also known as a classified board, is a governance structure in which the directors of a company or organization are divided into different classes or groups. Each class serves a specific term, typically spanning multiple years. This setup ensures that not all directors are up for re-election at the same time, providing continuity and stability to the board.

Sample Sentences:

  • The company's staggered board of directors allows for a smoother transition of leadership, as only a portion of the board is up for election each year.
  • With a staggered board of directors, it becomes difficult for activist shareholders to gain control of the entire board in a short period.
  • The decision to implement a staggered board of directors was made to prevent sudden changes in leadership that might destabilize the organization.
