5.6 Nominations Committee<br />

5.6.1 <strong>The</strong> Joint Nominations Committee<br />

<strong>The</strong> Trust has a Joint Nominations Committee which is responsible for nominating suitable<br />

c<strong>and</strong>idates to the Council of Governors for appointment to the Chairmanship or office of Non-<br />

Executive Director; <strong>and</strong> for nominating suitable c<strong>and</strong>idates to the Non-Executive Directors for<br />

appointment as the Chief Executive.<br />

5.6.2 <strong>The</strong> work of the Joint Nominations Committee in discharging its<br />

responsibilities<br />

In 2011/12 the Committee met on three occasions, once to consider nominating suitable c<strong>and</strong>idates<br />

to the Non-Executive Directors for appointment as Chief Executive <strong>and</strong> thereafter on two further<br />

occasions to consider the re-appointment of the Chairman <strong>and</strong> five Non-Executive Directors. When<br />

the Chairman or a Non-Executive Director reaches the end of their current term <strong>and</strong> being eligible<br />

wishes to be reappointed, the Joint Nominations Committee may nominate the individual for such<br />

reappointment without competition, subject to the Committee taking into account the result of any<br />

review of the individual's performance during their term of office <strong>and</strong> the balance of skills required on<br />

the Board of Directors. An external search agency was engaged for the Chief Executive appointment.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Joint Nominations Committee worked closely with the Governor Nominations <strong>and</strong> Remuneration<br />

Working Group, to ensure that nominations for re-appointment were made by a majority of governors.<br />

Before making any nomination for re-appointment, the Committee evaluated the performance of the<br />

individual seeking re-appointment during their term, the balance of qualifications, skills, knowledge<br />

<strong>and</strong> experience on the Board of Directors <strong>and</strong>, in light of this evaluation, prepares a description of the<br />

role <strong>and</strong> capabilities required. When considering the Chairman’s re-appointment, the Committee took<br />

into consideration the time commitment required.<br />
