For private companies, the benefit director is required in some states and optional in others. However, in most states public companies are required to have a benefit director. The benefit director must be an individual who is independent from the benefit corporation. The benefit director may serve as the benefit officer at the same time as serving as the benefit director.
Frozen Rope: Baseball Terminology. Whenever a fielder makes a throw that stays straight as an arrow all the way to its target, it is commonly referred to as a frozen rope.
A coil of rope. A rope is a group of yarns, plies, or strands that are twisted or braided together into a larger and stronger form. Ropes have tensile strength and so can be used for dragging and lifting, but are too flexible to provide compressive strength. As a result, they cannot be used for pushing or similar compressive applications. Rope is thicker and stronger than similarly constructed cord, line, string, and twine.
