Each year, the Board and each of its committees review their performance during executive sessions. This review centers around questions approved by the NCGC that 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. This process assists the full Board with obtaining different perspectives, encourages the collection of candid information and ensures a high level of engagement. The NCGC assesses the evaluation process annually and adjusts the process as needed.

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