• one must be an individual who has significant experience in the investment business.  

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors will assess all nominees’ qualifications, judgement, experience, independence, understanding of the insurance industry, and other factors that it determines are pertinent. Desired attributes of a Director nominee include: demonstrated breath and dept of management and leadership experience; integrity and demonstrated high ethical standards; the ability to devote sufficient time to prepare for and attend board meetings; and diversity in gender, ethnic background, personal and professional experience, viewpoints and other demographics.
