Just look at what Kodak's Board of Directors
has done the last decades. The Board failed
the company, customers, employees,shareholders and retirees. When things got difficult the last few years they ran down the lines like rats leaving a burning ship. Hope the new blood can bring some intelligence to Kodak's Board Room.
