Staggered Board

Definition:

A corporate governance structure in which the board of directors is divided into multiple classes, with only a portion of directors up for election in any given year. Staggered boards can make it more challenging for activist investors to gain control of the entire board at once, as they must wait for staggered terms to expire.
