BOARD, COMMITTEE AND INDIVIDUAL DIRECTOR EVALUATIONS / THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS



          Board, Committee and Individual Director Evaluations
          As a part of our continuous improvement process intended to enhance the Board’s overall effectiveness, the Board regularly
          evaluates its performance through self-assessments, corporate governance reviews and periodic charter reviews. Those
          evaluations, changes in our business strategy or operating environment, and the future needs of the Board in light of anticipated
          director retirements are used to identify desired backgrounds and skill sets for future Board members. The feedback solicited
          from Board members regarding the Board, each Committee on which they serve, and individual Board members is one of the
          tools used to assist the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in its responsibility to evaluate Board and Committee
          performance annually.

                                        assessment process to determine if they are effective and whether
                                        any changes are appropriate. Each director annually completes a
                                        questionnaire assessing the Board, Committees on which she/he
                                        serves, and each director for review by the Chair of the Committee.
