Election of Director
On June 1, 2009, upon the recommendation of the Committee on Governance, our Board of Directors elected Carolyn Corvi, a retired executive of The Boeing Company, to serve as a Director. Ms. Corvi was also appointed to serve as a member of the Audit Review Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. With this election, the Board of Directors increased the size of the Board to 12 members.
Ms. Corvi brings to Goodrich’s Board extensive experience in high level leadership roles gained during her 34-year career at Boeing. From 2005 until her retirement in 2008, Ms. Corvi served as vice president and general manager, airplane production, commercial airplanes and was responsible for leading Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ fully integrated production from design through production and delivery.
