This excerpt taken from the AFCE DEF 14A filed Apr 22, 2008. DIRECTOR
COMPENSATION FOR 2007
We use a combination of cash and stock-based compensation to
attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board of
Directors. In setting director compensation, the Board of
Directors considers the significant amount of time that
Directors expend in fulfilling their duties to us as well as the
experience and skills of the Board member.
Upon election to the Board at our annual meeting of
shareholders, members of the Board who are not our employees
receive an annual cash retainer of $45,000. The Director who
serves as chair of the Audit Committee receives $10,000 annually
in addition to the annual cash retainer. The Directors who serve
as chairs of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
and People Services (Compensation) Committee each receive $5,000
annually in addition to the annual cash retainer. Additionally,
all members of the Board of Directors receive an annual grant of
restricted stock units of our common stock equal in value to the
amount of $50,000 as of the date of the grant.
The following table includes information regarding the
compensation paid to our non-employee Directors and one employee
Director (Cheryl A. Bachelder) for 2007.
