 the Corporate Governance Guidelines and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter, the Board endeavors to achieve a Board of Directors that represents a range of experiences in areas that are relevant to the Company’s strategy and business. Additionally, as part of any director search process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors will consider highly qualified candidates, including women and diverse individuals. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board continuously assess the overall composition of the Board based on various measures of diversity (i.e., experience, qualifications, attributes and skills). Currently, 60% of the Board is comprised of diverse directors. In identifying prospective director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may seek referrals from its members, management, stockholders and other sources. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also may, but need not, retain a search firm in order to assist it in identifying candidates to serve as directors of the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes the same criteria for evaluating candidates regardless of the source of the referral. When considering director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks individuals with backgrounds and qualities that, when combined with those of our incumbent directors, provide a blend of skills and experience to further enhance the Board’s effectiveness. When considering whether the directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure, the Board focused primarily on the information discussed in each of the board member’s biographical information set forth under “Director Biographies and Qualifications.” Each of the Company’s directors possesses high ethical standards, acts with integrity and exercises careful, mature judgment. Each is committed to employing his or her skills and abilities to aid the long-term interests of the stakeholders of the Company. In addition, our directors are knowledgeable and experienced in one or more business, governmental, or civic endeavors, which further qualifies them for service as members of the Board. A significant number of our directors possess experience in owning and/or managing public and privately held enterprises and are familiar with corporate finance and strategic business planning activities that are unique to publicly traded companies like ours. See the directors’ biographical information set forth above for the important characteristics considered by our Board in determining that our directors should serve as directors of the Company. Since the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluated candidates based on the various factors described above and the candidates’ qualifications
