VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
GLENN TILTON: Talk to me a little bit about how you perceive the process by which we select potential new directors.
BOB PEASE: Right. The rigor is tremendous. The process of establishing what are the skill sets, the experiences, the knowledge and the interaction capabilities between members, the not just the grid that that we go through of where are we strong? Where do we need to add? But the ability to then engage with all of the potential candidates, to review them in advance, then to actually talk with people one on one, is tremendous.
Yes. Everyone brings a different set of skill sets. Mine’s heavily refining and heavily commercial, but it takes an awful lot of skill sets to push the company strategically in the right direction. We’ve done on the nominating and governance of the evaluated a lot of committee members. How do you decide what’s the right fit?
GLENN TILTON: We now have four nominees for this cycle, all of whom, are deeply experienced in the energy industry. But we also look for the experiences they’ve had on other boards. I want to know that they spoke up and when they were less than fully satisfied with the governance of the company, I certainly wanted to know that. Did they in fact say, gee, I’m not altogether satisfied with the governance here.
If they don’t do that, then frankly, they don’t belong in our culture.
