Basis for Inclusion: Peggy Alford holds a documented governance role as Chair of the Compensation, Nominating & Governance Committee at Meta Platforms Inc., which made documented political donations to Trump-aligned entities while the corporation faced significant regulatory scrutiny including an FTC antitrust case.

This profile documents the factual governance relationship, not the subject’s personal political views.

Subject Classification: Private Citizen / Corporate Director. Board membership is a matter of public record (SEC filings, proxy statements). This profile documents only the governance role and its connection to documented corporate political activity.

What is NOT the basis for inclusion: Alford’s personal political opinions, party affiliation, public statements, or any protected speech are NOT the basis for inclusion.
