About DTCC
Board & Governance
Board of Directors
The 2010 DTCC Board is composed of 18 directors.
Of these, thirteen directors are representatives of clearing agency participants, including international broker/dealers, custodian and clearing banks, and investment institutions; two of this group are designated by DTCC’s preferred shareholders, NYSE Euronext and FINRA. For the first time, three directors are from non-participants – specifically Lori Hricik, Derek Ross and Gary Stern. The remaining two directors are the chairman and chief executive officer, and the president and chief operating officer, of DTCC.
Individuals are nominated for election as directors based on their ability to represent DTCC's diverse base of participants, and DTCC's governance is specifically structured to help achieve this objective. The non-participant Board members are individuals with specialized knowledge of financial services, but who bring an independent perspective since they are not affiliated with firms that use DTCC services. Board members serve on a variety of Board committees with responsibility to oversee aspects of DTCC's operation. In addition, to ensure broad industry representation and expertise on key industry subjects, industry representatives who are non-Board members also serve on a number of advisory committees to the Board.
