#### Approach to Diversity
The Board and the Governance Committee believe it is important that our directors represent a variety of diverse viewpoints, backgrounds, skills, and experiences. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Governance Committee shall evaluate each director’s continued service on the Board, at least annually, by considering the appropriate skills and characteristics of members of the Board in the context of the then current makeup of the Board. The Board is committed to balance and diversity on the Board and will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, gender identity, age, national origin, genetic information, disability, protected veteran status, or other legally protected characteristics in selecting nominees. It is also the practice of the committee to consider these factors when screening and evaluating candidates for nomination to the Board.
