Any independent director or nominee for an independent directorship must have experience in, or knowledge of, one or more of the following areas: auditing and accounting; derivatives; financial management; organizational management; project development; risk management practices; and the law.

Director Compensation and Travel Expense Reimbursement Policy

The newly elected directors will be paid director fees in accordance with the Bank’s 2011 Director Compensation and Travel Expense Reimbursement Policy, which generally provides for a Bank director (other than chair, vice chair, and committee chairs) that attends all currently scheduled meetings in 2011 to be paid a total of $75,000 plus reasonable travel expenses. Under this policy, which was adopted by the Board on December 16, 2010, the total annual director fee is paid as a combination of a quarterly retainer fee and per-day attendance fees.  In accordance with FHFA regulations, the 2011 Director Compensation and Travel Expense Reimbursement Policy, together with all supporting materials upon which the Board relied in determining the level of compensation and expenses to pay to its directors, will be provided to the Director of the FHFA for review.
