Each year, the Board and each of its committees review their performance during executive sessions. This review centers around questions directors are asked regarding their individual performance and the performance of the Board/Committee. These questions include topics such as contributions made to Board deliberations, the relationship between members, quality of the materials provided, the relationship with Management, contributions to key functions/responsibilities of the Board and topics that they would like to see added or deleted to meeting agendas.

Additionally, the NCGC assesses the evaluation process annually and adjusts the process when desirable improvements are identified. Members of the NCGC reach out to each director individually to discuss performance and any concerns and relays them to the Board using an interview template approved by the NCGC. This process assists the full Board with obtaining different perspectives, encourages the collection of candid information and ensures a high level of engagement.

In 2023, the NCGC updated its evaluation questions to ensure directors received more individualized feedback. Additionally, the process included more in-depth discussion of board succession and development issues. The NCGC reviews several matters, including the issues to focus on in the evaluation and the form and manner of assessment.

The Board believes this evaluation system, coupled with our strong Chair of the Board and open-door policy, which promotes sharing of ideas among all directors, makes for a robust process that ensures the Board’s effectiveness.
