On October 3, 2025, Altria Group announced the retirement of George Muñoz from its Board of Directors, effective after his current term ends. Muñoz, who has been with Altria since 2004, will not seek re-election at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. His departure marks the end of over two decades of significant contributions to the company, where he held key roles such as Chair of the Compensation and Talent Development Committee. This change in leadership could impact Altria's strategic direction as it continues to pursue its vision of a smoke-free future.
