 Board.

The Chair is also responsible for approving meeting agendas and meeting schedules for our Board, acting as an available conduit for the communication of information from the non-management directors to our CEO and coordinating with the CEO the development of the CEO’s annual goals and objectives.

In addition, each of our standing committees (the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating & Governance committee, and the Safety & Sustainability committee) is composed of independent directors and has a non- management, independent board member acting as chair.

Board and Committee Evaluation

To provide ongoing reviews of the effectiveness of our Board, including the effectiveness of our leadership structure, our corporate governance guidelines and the charters of each of our committees both mandate annual assessments by board members of the effectiveness of our Board and each of our committees on which such members serve.

Our assessments involve a structured assessment review that is led by the Chair, for the Board, and by each committee chairperson, for each applicable committee. The assessment ensures all necessary issues were considered to fulfill Board and committee responsibilities and measures effectiveness of Board oversight, ensures meeting objectives were satisfied, all agenda items sufficiently considered and information presented was complete, understandable and organized and identifies issues that need additional dialogue.

Results of the annual assessment is reviewed by the Nominating & Governance Committee and summarized for the full Board.

The results are then discussed by the Board and, following the assessment, the Board determines the relevant actions to be taken to enhance our governance.
