If so, a Nominating and Governance Committee member or designated representative for the Nominating and Governance Committee will contact the person. If the person is willing to be considered for nomination, the person is asked to provide additional information regarding their background; their specific skills, experience, and qualifications for Board service; and any direct or indirect relationships with the Company. In addition, one or more interviews may be conducted with Nominating and Governance Committee and Board members, and Nominating and Governance Committee members may contact one or more references provided by the candidate or others who would have first-hand knowledge of the candidate’s qualifications and attributes.
