 Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing with the Board, on an annual basis, the appropriate characteristics, skills and experience required for the Board as a whole and its individual members. In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current members) for election or appointment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in recommending candidates for election, and the Board will consider personal and professional integrity, ethics and values and ability to make mature business judgments along with other factors the committee may deem to be relevant, such as:

Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Directors The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies nominees for director by first evaluating the current members of our Board willing to continue in service.
