, the Committee considers how a particular candidate
could be expected to contribute to overall diversity in the backgrounds, skills and experiences of the Board’s members and thereby
enhance the effectiveness of the Board. Six of the ten currently serving independent Trustees bring gender and/or racial diversity to
the Board. In addition, as part of its annual self-evaluation, the Board has an opportunity to consider the diversity of its members,
including specifically whether the Board’s members have the right mix of characteristics, experiences and skills. The results of
the self-evaluation are considered by the Governance Committee in its decision-making process with respect to candidates for the position
of noninterested Trustee.
