Bank directors are being asked to provide more oversight and leadership to their banks while also taking on more liability.

In this free Flash Survey we examined how board of directors' compensation plans are changing. We explore changes in compensation practices of bank directors in regards to cash and equity compensation for services, chairmanships and committee work. The survey focuses on the prevalence of increases and decreases in overall board of directors' compensation, retainer, or meeting attendance compensation as well as committee retainer and attendance compensation.
