Notes:

• Annual Self-Assessment: Mandatory for NYSE-listed companies. Evaluates board performance, committee effectiveness, and individual director contributions.
• External Facilitation: Best practice involves an independent third party to conduct a deep-dive evaluation every 3 years to avoid bias.
• Key Metrics: Attendance, preparation, strategic insight, and diversity of thought.
• Continuous Improvement: Using evaluation results to update board charters, refresh director skills, and improve governance processes.
