An Independent director (also sometimes known as an outside director) is a director (member) of a board of directors who does not have a material or pecuniary relationship with company or related persons, except sitting fees. Independent Directors do not own shares in the company.

Legal requirements[edit]
US[edit]
The NYSE and Nasdaq stock exchange standards for independent directors are similar. Both require that "a majority of the board of directors of a listed company be 'independent,'"[3] Both allow compensation for directors of $120,000/year or less (as of August 2008).[4])

The NYSE states:

"no director qualifies as 'independent' unless the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has 'no material relationship' with the listed company, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company."[5]
