Every director except Su is independent. Nora M. Denzel, a director since March 2014, has been lead independent director since November 2022. The insider record shows a board with long tenure: Denzel and Joseph A. Householder have filed as directors since 2014, John W. Marren and Abhijit Y. Talwalkar since 2017, Michael P. Gregoire since 2019 and Elizabeth W. Vanderslice since 2022, while KC McClure first filed in January 2026 and Timothy Ryan in August 2026. The 2026 proxy statement says Jon A. Olson would retire from the board after the annual meeting. 17181920
