Is there regulation on how many shares or value of bank stock a director is required to own to qualify for a board seat? Any direction would be appreciated!

I don't believe there is a requirement. Not all of our board members own stock and nobody has ever said anything about it. That being said, I think ownership can require it if they want to.

I couldn't find any regulation and have never heard of it in my whole three years as a compliance officer...however, our CEO believes there is a regulation. So trying to find something.

see nothing here requiring stock ownership...of course, my thoughts would be why would you want a board member with no ownership stake being on the board?

If you are a State bank, there are State law requirements in some States.

If you are a national bank there is a requirement - refer to Appendix A (pg 85) of the Director's Book: Role of Directors for National Banks and Federal Savings Associations

The term you are looking for is "qualifying shares." Some people believe that directors should have some real skin in the game...
