Board of Directors

Our eight member Board of Directors is comprised of seven “independent” (as defined by the listing standards of the NYSE) members, and our Chief Executive Officer. Each of our board members is subject to re-election by our stockholders on an annual basis. We do not divide our directors into classes or stagger terms. The individuals appointed to the Board have extensive experience in their respective professional fields, the real estate industry, and in serving on public company boards of directors.
