Recognition for Governance Excellence
Seven private companies were selected for the governance excellence demonstrated by their fiduciary boards. The awards, which will be presented at a dinner during the Private Company Governance Summit® on May 16, 2024, honor private company boards that best serve their stakeholders—owners, shareholders, employees, and the community—with best practices in their structure and performance.
Purpose of the Awards
The awards were created to recognize private companies that go above and beyond legal governance requirements and commit to the highest levels of governance, whether through fiduciary or advisory boards. The awards honor the performance of the board as a whole.
Award Categories
The ninth annual awards recognize fiduciary boards (those tasked with protecting shareholders, with the authority to vote on decisions that are binding for company management) as well as advisory boards (more informal boards that have no binding regulations, but often a significant strategic role). The awards were broken down by company revenues and ownership type. Awards are not made in every category.
