Our Board of Directors represents a broad spectrum of business and financial experience. Daily, they challenge the AGL Resources' team, never permitting management to pre-empt the Board's role in reviewing and approving major corporate initiatives and results. It is a system that benefits all our stakeholders.

The Investor Relations section of our website contains a comprehensive description of our corporate governance philosophy, policies and the composition and charters for each of our board committees. The combination of these corporate governance practices, combined with the level of management depth and experience we have at AGL, positions us well as one of the top-tier companies in the country when it comes to taking governance issues and actions seriously.

Pursuant to Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange Listing Standards, our Board of Directors has adopted categorical standards for determining director independence. To be considered "independent" for purposes of these standards, the Board of Directors must affirmatively determine that a director has no material relationship with the Company other than as a director. In each case, the Board shall consider all relevant facts and circumstances and shall apply the following standards. The Board of Directors has determined that all non-employee members of the Board are independent. Additional information concerning the Board's independence analysis can be found in our proxy statement available on this website under SEC Filings.
