Our Board has adopted the Corporate Governance Policy to establish a framework within which it will conduct its business. We also provide our directors training on issues facing us and on subjects that would assist the directors in discharging their duties. In addition, the Board has adopted a share ownership guideline for our executive officers and non-employee members of the Board, which align the interests of our management members with those of our shareholders.

Corporate Governance Policy >

The Company and our Board are committed to a diverse, inclusive and equitable environment where all Board members, staff, volunteers and members feel respected and valued regardless of gender, age, race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation or identity, disability, or any other bias. The Board believes in the benefits of having a Board composed of individuals with diverse skills, experience, backgrounds and perspectives as well as support for the mission of the Company. For purposes of Board composition, diversity includes, but is not limited to, business and industry skills and experience, gender and ethnicity. All Board appointments should collectively reflect the diverse nature of the business environment in which the Company operates and be made on merit, in the context of the skills, experience, qualification and knowledge which the Board requires to be effective. The Board is committed to comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding diversity of composition of the Board, including any diversity legislation enacted by state governments to the extent the Company is subject to such legislation. For example, we are in full compliance with California’s board diversity legislation that requires a minimum number of female directors and directors from underrepresented communities.
