Annual Review

At least annually, the Committee will a) review this Charter with the Board and recommend any changes to the Board and b) evaluate its own performance against the requirements of this Charter and report the results of this evaluation to the Board.  The evaluation will include establishment of the goals and objectives of the Committee for the upcoming year.  The Committee will conduct its review and evaluation in such manner as it deems appropriate.
