Governance Edge
In this episode of Governance Edge, Malcolm Adkins, managing director at Pearl Meyer, joins Jenn Cox, executive director of NACD Texas TriCities, to discuss how director compensation is evolving in 2026. Drawing from the 2025-2026 NACD Director Compensation Report, created in partnership with Pearl Meyer, Malcolm unpacks three major trends: the shift toward shorter vesting periods (and even immediate vesting), the simplification of director pay structures, and the growing emphasis on equity over cash. This conversation is filled with practical insights for boards evaluating whether their director compensation programs are still fit for purpose.
