Membership

The membership of the Committee consists of at least two directors appointed annually by the Board on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The chairperson of the Committee shall be appointed by a majority vote of the Board and may be removed by a majority vote of the Board in its discretion.
