MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL INC /MD/

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates the composition of the Board at least annually to assess whether the skills, experience, characteristics, and other criteria established by the Board are currently represented on the Board as a whole, and by individual directors, and to assess the criteria that may be needed in the future in light of the Company’s anticipated needs. In addition, while the Board does not maintain a formal diversity policy for Board membership, the Board believes that a board comprised of directors with a variety of backgrounds and experiences improves the dialogue and decision-making in the boardroom and contributes to overall board effectiveness. The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seek to achieve a mix of such members, which they define broadly to include, among other things, differences in backgrounds, qualifications, experiences, viewpoints, geographic locations, education, skills and expertise, professional and industry experience, and personal characteristics. The Board believes the current directors, as a group and as individuals, embody such a mix and have the skills and expertise important to oversee our business and strategy.

Director Nominees

A majority of our director nominees are independent with a mix of short-, medium- and long-term tenure. Six of our 13 director nominees are female and seven are male, and four of our director nominees are people of color.

The skills matrix below summarizes some of the skills and expertise of the director nominees that we believe benefit our current business and strategy. We continue to evaluate the matrix against our needs and strategy so that it can serve as an effective tool for identifying director nominees who collectively have the complementary experience, knowledge, and abilities relevant to service on the Board.
