The committee reviews with the board the skills and characteristics required of directors in the context of the board’s current composition and the needs of the board as a whole in light of the company’s long-term business strategy. It seeks a group of individuals who bring to the board a variety of complementary skills and a range of viewpoints, backgrounds, experiences and other individual qualities and attributes. It solicits the names of director candidates from a variety of sources, including, at its discretion, members of the board and search firms.
