Phelps is Third Luna Director to be Honored by NACD

Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA) today announced that Barry Phelps, a member of its Board of Directors, has been named to the 2021 National Association of Corporate Directors (“NACD”) Directorship 100, which highlights the most influential leaders in corporate governance. Mr. Phelps has served on Luna’s Board of Directors for four years and has extensive experience in financial management roles and executive and Board service experience in technology-related industries.

“On behalf of the Company and my fellow directors, I would like to congratulate Barry on this well-deserved distinction,” commented Richard W. Roedel, Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Luna Innovations. “Because of Barry’s dedication and professional experience, he is now part of a prestigious list recognizing the most influential corporate directors, corporate-governance experts, policymakers and influencers who have significantly impacted boardroom practices and performance. He is a valuable asset to Luna and our shareholders.”

“This is a merited honor, as Barry’s diligence and stewardship have been instrumental to our Board over the years,” said Luna Innovations President and CEO Scott A. Graeff. “During this unprecedented year full of unexpected challenges, Barry’s guidance has been crucial. He remains objective and unafraid of asking those difficult questions, all while helping to strategically position our Company for success. Barry continues to add insight to all discussions with a focus on corporate governance best practices.”

Graeff continued, “I am truly honored to serve alongside such a distinguished group of Board Directors, two of whom have been named to NACD’s 100 list and another given NACD’s lifetime achievement award. I thank all of Luna’s Directors for their continued inspiration and guidance.”

Peter R. Gleason, NACD president and CEO, said, “This year’s Directorship 100 honorees—each of whom have been nominated by a peer—have demonstrated their individual excellence in governance by serving their organizations and communities during the most challenging of times. They exemplify accomplishment and integrity and inspire others with their dedication to enhancing board leadership.”

Barry and the other honorees will be recognized during the 2021 NACD Directorship Awards Virtual Gala on November 9, 2021.
