 Board evaluation process is essential to its effectiveness. As such, the Board and each committee conduct annual evaluations to determine whether it and its committees are functioning effectively. As part of the evaluation process, each director also evaluates their own performance and periodically completes peer evaluations of the other directors, designed to assess individual director performance. The evaluation process is overseen by the Nominating and Governance Committee, in consultation with the Board chair. Outcomes of the evaluation process have been used to inform Board succession planning, committee memberships, chair service, and enhancements to Board effectiveness.
