GE have highlighted the total number of years that the 18 GE board members have served their shareholders: 140 years. This is paralleled by the emphasis on the page about their CEO having served as Chairman since Sept 7 2001.
These are impressively long periods of service, and including these figures can help to demonstrate the depth of experience and loyalty of the GE board members, assuming that all is going well. (Naturally there is a risk that the board may appear stale if the numbers grow too high).
