Governance, Nominating and ESG Committee seeks to build a board with an appropriate diversity of background, tenure, skills and experience.

Our Governance, Nominating and ESG Committee has adopted specific qualifications that they believe are necessary and appropriate for membership on our Board of Directors. The Governance, Nominating and ESG Committee identifies and evaluates nominees through internal discussions with committee members, management and other Board members. The Governance, Nominating and ESG Committee meets annually to review Board qualifications, assess whether our existing Board members meet those qualifications and discuss whether any additional individuals should be nominated to serve on our Board of Directors.
