“Regulations affecting public companies have skyrocketed. Each month, more and different rulings, regulations and legislation impact how companies conduct business, mitigate risk, comply with requirements and show proof of all of the above.”
Mike Parks, Chairman and CEO

We are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. We currently have eight directors, including seven independent, non-employee directors. Our Board is divided into three classes of directors, and each class serves a three year term. Our Board presently has four committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee and the Executive Committee.

In order to supplement our ongoing compliance efforts, in 2005 Alliance Data created the Enterprise Compliance Council. This cross-functional council acts to unite the company's compliance initiatives in a way that allows us to intelligently address regulatory and other demands while preserving our ability to focus on our Mission and Vision.
