Governance Assessment
- Positives
- Independent director with material HR/talent expertise; seats on Nominating & Governance and Compensation Committees align skills with board needs .
- Board-level risk, clawback, and anti-hedging policies support investor alignment; Compensation Committee uses an independent consultant without identified conflicts .
- Ownership aligns with director program (cash + time-based equity); standard structure for community bank boards; no pledging disclosed for Stanland .
- Watch items / potential red flags
- Section 16(a): One late Form 4 in 2024 indicates a minor compliance lapse; monitor for recurrence .
- Serving on Compensation Committee increases scrutiny on independence and pay decisions; continued disclosure of consultant independence and clawback application mitigates risk .
Overall: Stanland appears to strengthen board effectiveness through HR and governance expertise, with standard director compensation and ownership alignment. Aside from a single late Section 16 filing, no material conflicts or related-party exposures are disclosed for her; broader governance controls (anti-hedging, clawback, independent consultant) are in place, supporting investor confidence .
