-The Board consists of unknown persons who speak through [[Natalie]] by way of a headset. They are never physically present and monitor meetings by way of a speakerphone equipped with a camera. The first and only word spoken by the Board in Season 1 is "Yes," in Episode 8, //[[What's For Dinner]]//, in response to [[Harmony Cobel]]'s asking Natalie if the Board is even really listening. The voice is hoarse and male, not unlike that of [[Jame Eagan]], but Jame has let himself be seen in public and generally the CEO of a company does not also serve on the board of said company.+[[The Board]] consists of unknown persons who speak through [[Natalie]] by way of a headset.

-A theory about the identity of the board is it being comprised of previous Lumon CEOs (all Eagans) who, after their retirement, or revolving, or faked death, or upload into a goat (don't go to Reddit). However, Lumon today seems to have more nefarious motives than the Lumon begun by Kier.+**THEORY** A theory about the identity of the Board is, it is comprised of previous Lumon CEOs (all Eagans) after their retirement, or revolving, or faked death, or upload into a goat (don't go to Reddit). However, Lumon today seems to have more nefarious motives than the Lumon begun by Kier.
  
-The Board could only be comprised of Myrtle, Gerhardt, and Leonora Eagan; these three were the only CEOs whose tenure heading the company ended before their lives did. As such, they could have been uploaded/transferred/revolved/whatever, but when the other CEOs died while still running Lumon, they could not. One institution named after [[Myrtle Eagan]],the first woman CEO, incidentally, is one which aggressively facilitates compliance and conformity: the [[Myrtle Eagan School for Girls]]. Myrtle served in the economically and politically volatile time of 1941 - 1955, and would have exerted enormous influence in her position during those years. It is easy to imagine such facts as equally important.+Considering the technology likely available at the time. it stands to reason that the Board could be comprised of Myrtle, Gerhardt, and Leonora Eagan; these three are the only CEOs whose tenure at Lumon ended before their death. As such, they could have been uploaded/transferred/revolved/whatever and given a spot on the Board. The other CEOs died while still running Lumon and thus did not have the same opportunity to join the Board.

 As lesser influences, [[Leonora Lake]] is named for [[Leonora Eagan]]; Baird also has [[Baird Creek Manor|a neighborhood]] named after him. Gerhardt has a [[gerhardt_s|restaurant]] named after himself (the first to be recognized by the Kier Star Association, a local version of Michelin star restaurant ratings), but he could still be a silent participant in Lumon's deviance from the milder form of self-control prescribed by Kier Eagan in his seminal work, [[Compliance]].  As lesser influences, [[Leonora Lake]] is named for [[Leonora Eagan]]; Baird also has [[Baird Creek Manor|a neighborhood]] named after him.
