So, for example, if the CEO is receiving D dollars and S shares (or options) as compensation, then each board member should receive .1D dollars and .1S shares (or options) as compensation. {{keywords>options, board members, board of directors, compensation}} **Related Questions:** **[[:faqs:personnel:how-many-options|How many options will my employees be granted?]]** **[[:faqs:personnel:how-to-grant-options-to-employees|How do I grant options to employees?]]** **[[:faqs:investments:kinds-of-options|What is the difference between an Incentive Stock Option (ISO) and a Nonstatutory Stock Option (NSO)?]]** **[[:faqs:investments:how-options-board|How do I grant options to board members?]]**
