Role and responsibilities
The primary role of the Nominations Committee is to ensure that the Board is appropriately structured and has in place the correct balance of individuals to discharge its duties effectively, and to lead the process by which new Board members are appointed. It also advises the Board on succession planning for Directors.
The Committee’s main duties and responsibilities in advising the Board are summarised below:
- responsibility for identifying and nominating, for the approval of the Board, candidates to fill Board vacancies as and when they arise;
- giving full consideration to succession planning and keeping under review the leadership needs of the organisation, both Executive and Non-Executive;
- reviewing the time required from and spent by a Non-Executive Director in fulfilling his or her duties; and
- leading the process for Board appointments and making recommendations to the Board; preparing a description of the role and requirements for any particular appointment based on its evaluation of the Board as a whole.
