Our Board of Directors

Altria Group believes that the primary responsibility of the Board of Directors is to foster the long-term success of the company, consistent with its fiduciary duty to the shareholders. The Board has responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies, setting strategic direction, and overseeing management, which is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Company.

Various materials are distributed to the Board on a continuing basis throughout the year and reports and presentations are made at Board and Committee meetings to keep the Board informed on an ongoing basis of the performance of the Company and its businesses, their future plans (including acquisitions, divestitures and capital expenditures), the various issues that they face, and new developments.  In addition, the Board meets at an offsite location for several days each year to review the Company’s strategic plan.

The Board holds regular meetings typically during the months of January, February, May, August, October and December and special meetings are held when necessary.  The organizational meeting of the Board follows immediately after the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
