Study Overview and Scope

We are pleased to announce the 2022 Private Company Board Compensation Study is now open for participation! This custom study was designed to offer critical insights on typical board structures, committee compensation and independent board member compensation in the U.S.

As companies manage the long-term economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the new normal for business operations, some are taking actions to manage costs, making these insights more valuable than ever in a shifting market.

Key topics include:

  • Company metrics;
  • Board member composition;
  • Committee composition;
  • Compensation program design: cash and equity; and
  • Independent board member pay: cash and equity.
