## Resource

Board refreshment may seem like a numbers game at some companies: years served, age reached. But curiosity, not tenure, is a key factor that determines whether a director still contributes effectively. In this episode, Evelyn Dilsaver, a director on the board of Bailard, Health Equity, and Somnigroup International, and NACD advisor Susan Paley discuss board refreshment strategies. They explore the mechanisms used for board refreshment, how to safeguard institutional knowledge, and why board culture and refreshment go hand in hand. Host: Susan Paley , NACD advisor Guest: Evelyn Dilsaver , audit committee chair, Somnigroup International; director, Bailard, Healthy Equity, PACS Group, QuidelOrtho; advisory board member, Protiviti Related NACD Resources: “How to Proactively Approach Board Refreshment” “The Case for Term Limits” Director Essentials: Board and Director Evaluations Visit nacdonline.org for further research and information.
