The board and each standing committee annually evaluates their effectiveness through discussions following a confidential survey of individual directors. The process includes a periodic peer review of individual director effectiveness, which is discussed on a confidential basis with each director by the Lead Director or the Chairman of the Board. The Governance Committee reviews this information and recommends appropriate changes to the board.

The Governance Committee coordinates this evaluation process. The qualifications and performance of all board members are reviewed in connection with renomination.

Board Evaluation and Education

Each year, the Board and the Audit, Compensation and Benefits, Corporate Governance, Credit, and Enterprise Risk Committees evaluate their effectiveness. The Board views self-evaluation as an ongoing process designed to achieve high levels of Board and committee performance.

All new directors participate in our orientation program in their first six months as a director. This orientation includes presentations by senior management to familiarize new directors with our management, lines of business, strategic plans, significant financial, accounting and risk management matters, compliance programs, conflict policies, Code of Ethics and insider trading and other policies. Directors receive ongoing continuing education through educational sessions at meetings and receive information about ongoing developments relevant to our company and our industry. All current Audit Committee members also participated in two half-day sessions regarding operational risk management, accounting, financial reporting and Audit Committee responsibilities that are specific to our company. The sessions were led by our Chief Financial Officer, Global Compliance Executive, Chief Accounting Officer, Accounting Policy Executive, General Auditor and General Counsel, among others. Representatives from our registered independent public accounting firm were also in attendance at these sessions. The Board also encourages directors to participate in continuing education programs and reimburses directors for the expenses of such participation.
