Corporate Governance

Under our corporate bylaws and Delaware General Corporation Law, Echo’s business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. Members of the Board are kept informed of Echo’s business through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of the Board and its committees.

The Board maintains three committees: (1) Audit, (2) Compensation and (3) Nominating and Corporate Governance. The Board has adopted written charters for these committees, each of which can be accessed below. Each document is saved as a printable Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF file.
