Kohl's expands board of directors after annual meeting Kohl's Corp. is moving forward with an expanded board of directors in response to a public campaign by a group of investors earlier this year. Kohl's shareholders elected the company's 12 nominees to the board of directors during the Menomonee Falls-based retailer's virtual annual meeting of shareholders on Wednesday. The candidates received an average vote of more than 96% of votes cast. Kohl's announced in mid-April that the company had reached an agreement with a group of investors that had launched a campaign seeking to gain control of the board of directors. As part of that agreement, Kohl's expanded its board of directors from 12 members to 15. Kohl's CEO Michelle Gass holds one seat; the rest are independent from the company. Two of the three new directors were nominated by the investor group.
