IDK! but I like it!
'1. Real job of most board members in modern companies is to be a contact Network between Regulators, Politicians and other Business Leaders. The reason that board directors tend to be so old is because these rules are often just given to people who have already had long and prestigious careers in business or government and have built up a long list of friends in high places
'2. Military supply companies including Boeing from earlier normally have one or two retired high-ranking military personnel on their board to signal that they listen directly to the armed forces.
'3. The board is supposed to represent the best interest of shareholders but it's becoming harder and harder to determine what that actually means. The largest shareholders in most public companies are almost always "Vanguard Group", "Blackrock", "State Street Corporation". Large asset managers that build index funds on behalf of other investors or institutions.
