## Fulfilling our Legacy of Leadership in Governance 

A commitment to strong corporate governance has been an integral part of our corporate identity for decades and is a powerful legacy of our Dayton family founders. Consistent with this heritage, we maintain a high-quality, independent board of directors, whose members represent a balance of industry experience, geography, ethnicity and gender. Our board actively challenges senior management to fulfill its obligations and realize new opportunities. And, to ensure that we perpetuate this strong and vital corporate governance model, we formally review our practices and policies each year. 

We firmly believe that strong corporate citizenship is a key to our continued success. Our proactive and visionary approach to board leadership, our heartfelt community involvement and our commitment to diversity combine to reinforce our positioning for the years ahead.
