Executives, Board of Directors & Governance

Arbitron Inc. is managed by a seasoned executive team. The company can also boast of an excellent mix of longtime employees who have established many of the industry standards used throughout the media research industry and newer employees who bring Internet and key technology experience to the company. The Arbitron Board of Directors is comprised of talented people with diverse and valuable perspectives.

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has reviewed and recommended changes to its corporate governance listing standards for NYSE-listed companies. One of the new standards recommended by the NYSE, but not yet mandatory, was that NYSE-listed companies must publish on their Web sites the key charters of their board of directors and the company's codes of business conduct and ethics.

Arbitron has posted all of its Board of Directors' committee charters and its codes of business conduct and ethics in compliance with these new NYSE recommendations.
