Board Evaluation

The Board and the Board committees regularly evaluate their own effectiveness throughout the year. The evaluation is a multifaceted process that includes an annual formal self-evaluation process developed and administered under the direction of the Governance Committee, periodic one-on-one discussions between each director and the Board Chairman, individual director input on agenda topics for Board and committee meetings and strategic planning sessions, executive sessions held in Board and committee meetings without management present, and periodic input to the CEO and senior management on enhancements to Board and committee effectiveness.
