The Board is committed to a rigorous self-evaluation process. Through evaluation, directors annually review the Board’s performance, including areas where the Board feels it functions effectively, and most importantly, areas where the Board can improve. The NCGCC, with additional leadership from our Chairman and Lead Independent Director, initiates the annual Board evaluation process. We believe that having a review process for the Board and each committee helps to (i) ensure an adequate representation of requisite skills; (ii) encourage high levels of engagement from directors; and (iii) strengthen the overall effectiveness of our Board. These evaluations are typically in written form, although they may also be in oral questionnaire form and may be administered by Board members, management or third-party consultants.

Each of our Board committees similarly engages in an annual performance evaluation and a general charter adequacy review. Each committee is responsible for determining the manner of evaluation and for carrying out the evaluation. Further, the Board evaluation questionnaire includes a section specifically concerning Board committee structure and performance, which is an opportunity for Board members to provide feedback on each committee, regardless of their individual committee membership. As a result of their annual review of the adequacy of their charters, the Board last approved revised charters for each of our standing committees in February 2023.
