Corporate Governance

Good corporate governance - pointing out corporate directors who should and shouldn't be elected anywhere. This is my attempt to keep track of good people for board of directors and keep track of people who should be avoided.

Good Governance at HP

Chair Patricia Dunn is going to remain on the board, but stop Chairing it as of January. CEO Mark Hurd gets the Chairman title and Richard Hackborn becomes lead independent director.

Good work by the board to move quickly to put this behind them and to appoint a lead independent director immediately.

Dunn should have resigned from the board, but she also shouldn't have green-lighted identity theft either.

Hurd is to be congratulated for the good work he's done with HP and how he's kept his name out of the press throughout this entire mess.

Lawrence T. Babbio, Jr.
Vice chairman and president of Verizon Communications, Inc.
Former director of Compaq and current director on ARAMARK.

Sari M. Baldauf
