6. Perspectives from the PastEyes Wide Open: Lay of the Land • NomCom’s purpose is to identify and recruit candidates for the trustee elections, which are run by the AoA and will be held in the spring of 2010 • Alumni Council was advised that openings have been created for two of the eight alumni-nominated trustee seats • The Council’s nominees for the last four seats have lost to petition candidates • The rancorous nature of these elections was beginning to affect the ability to recruit trustee candidates • Recent reforms in the AoA constitution address some of these issues

7. Process Guiding Principles • Dartmouth needs to attract the strongest possible trustee candidates, now more than ever • Enormous complexity of the institution • Increasingly global nature of the College and issues facing it • Highly competitive environment for best talent and resources • Significant new challenges presented by economic environment • NomCom’s objective was to conduct a process that attracted the best candidates by being • Broad-based and inclusive • Open and transparent • Thorough and rigorous • Respectful and discrete • Independent

ProcessSearch Criteria • High accomplishment and success in chosen field • Accretive skill set to the existing board • Effective communication and influencing skills • Understanding of board dynamics and ability to work together in a collaborative environment • Critical thinking skills, energy, and independence • Broad appeal and willingness to run in a contested election • Appreciation and passion for Dartmouth

ProcessDue Diligence and Vetting • More than 400 alumni considered since last trustee election in 2007 • Further casting the net since the announcement • Emails and mailings sent to all 69,000 alumni • Full page ad in Dartmouth Alumni Magazine • Articles in Speaking of Dartmouth and Dartmouth Life • Announcements in online version of The D and Facebook • Postcards at alumni events through the fall • Emails to nearly 400 alumni leaders and posting on AC website • In the past year, NomCom has met 14 times (6x in-person in full-day sessions, 8x conference calls) • Background checks and pre-referencing conducted through multiple sources on multiple prospects

10. ProcessNarrowing the Funnel • A select group of the most highly qualified prospects who would consider running was invited to interview with the entire committee over a two-day period in New York City in early November • Written statements and responses to questions developed by the committee were submitted by each candidate prior to the visit • One hour interviews were conducted with each finalist • No College employees were part of interviews or the deliberation process
