. As part of its Board refreshment process, the Board has recruited a new Director in five of the past seven years. Currently, 33% of our independent Directors have a tenure of five years or less, and the average tenure of our independent Directors as of March 27, 2025 is 9.42 years with a median tenure of 7.51 years. In order to develop a balanced Board, we have a robust Director recruitment process that includes utilizing the assistance of a nationally recognized recruiting firm to identify and recruit potential candidates for our Board of Directors based on attributes outlined on a skills matrix that was developed by the Nominating and Governance Committee. For each recruiting engagement, the Nominating and Governance Committee, working with the independent recruiting firm and including input from the Board, develops specifications for each director position, which are used to identify and recruit director candidates.Board, Committee and Director EvaluationsThe Board has established a robust self-evaluation process for the Board, its Committees and individual Directors. Each year, our Board and Committees conduct evaluations to assess their effectiveness and adherence to the Corporate Governance Guidelines and Committee charters, and to identify opportunities to improve Board and Committee performance. As part of that process, we also conduct individual Director evaluations, including peer assessments. As described below, the Board engages an independent corporate governance professional to conduct interviews with each Director as part of this process.Under the leadership of our Lead Director, Mr. Singleton, our annual evaluation process focused on three components: (1) the Board, (2) Board Committees and (3) individual Directors. An independent third party who is experienced in corporate governance matters interviews each Director to obtain his or her assessment of the effectiveness of the Board and its Committees, including identifying any opportunities the Board can focus on to enhance effectiveness. In addition, the Board conducted a peer review process in which the third party sought input regarding the performance of each individual Director. Our Lead Director provides overall Board and Committee evaluation feedback and leads a discussion with the entire Board, and also provides feedback to each Director in an individual session.
