Board committees HomeInvestorsCorporate governance To assist in the discharge of its duties and responsibilities, the Board has established a number of Committees, including the Audit Committee, the Remuneration Committee and the Nomination Committee. Board Committees There are a number of standing Committees of the Board to which various matters are delegated. The Committees all have formal Terms of Reference that have been approved by the Board. THE NOMINATION COMMITTEE Nomination Committee members Dr Martin Read CBE – Chair Gill Barr Anthony Bickerstaff Mihiri Jayaweera Debbie Lentz Stewart Oades James Wroath Role of the Nomination Committee The Nomination Committee’s role is to review the leadership needs of the Board and senior management, with a view to ensuring the Group’s continued ability to perform effectively. The Nomination Committee’s remit, which is set out in its Terms of Reference, includes responsibility for: reviewing the structure, size and composition of the Board and its Committees and making recommendations to the Board on any desired changes; reviewing the succession plans for the Executive Directors; making recommendations to the Board on suitable candidates to fill vacancies for both Non-executive and Executive Directors; ensuring that the procedure for appointing new Directors is rigorous and transparent and that appointments are made on merit and against objective criteria; reviewing potential conflicts of interests of Directors; and reviewing the external commitments of the Directors and the time required to discharge their responsibilities effectively. Before a Board appointment is made, the Nomination Committee evaluates the skills, knowledge and experience of the Board to ensure that any new appointment complements these qualities. Candidates from a wide range of backgrounds are considered and appointments are made on merit, with due regard to the benefits of diversity on the Board, including gender. The selection process generally involves interviews with a number of candidates, using the services of a professional search firm. For the appointment of the Chairman, the Nomination Committee prepares a job specification, including an assessment of the time commitment expected, recognising the need for availability in the event of a crisis.
