Hi Suzanne,
As a government agency, we do not set the timeline of director appointments, but generally speaking government appointees sit on our Board for a six year maximum (sometimes appointed in 1, 2 or 3 year renewable terms).
The Board evaluates its performance and that of its committees against its Mandate and Charter. It then reviews its rolling Board Succession Plan to determine if there are gaps in the skills matrix relative to its mandate and its performance. They review this plan on an annual basis and use it as it's overall recruiting strategy for new members.
The results of individual peer evaluations would not become part of our Board's recruitment strategy for new members. This process is done solely for the benefit of strengthening, if needed, individual director performance. The results of the peer evaluations are confidential between the Chair and individual director.
