Bowerman Drive, Beaverton, Oregon 97005-6453. The recommendation should include the candidates name, age, qualifications (including principal occupation and employment history), and written consent to be named as a nominee in the Companys proxy statement and to serve as a director, if elected. The Board of Directors has adopted qualification standards for the selection of independent nominees for director which can be found at our internet website: www.nikebiz.com/investors. As provided in the these standards and the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines, nominees for director are selected on the basis of, among other things, distinguished business experience or other non-business achievements; education; significant knowledge of international business, finance, marketing, technology, law, or other fields which are complementary to, and balance the knowledge of other Board members; a desire to represent the interests of all shareholders; independence; character; ethics; good judgment; diversity; and ability to devote substantial time to discharge Board responsibilities. In considering the re-nomination of an incumbent director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the directors overall service to the Company during his or her term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation and quality of performance, as well as any special skills or diversity that such director brings to the Board. All potential new director candidates, whether recommended by shareholders or identified by other means, are initially screened by the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, who may seek additional information about the background and qualifications of the candidate, and who may determine that a candidate does not have qualifications that merit further consideration by the full committee. With respect to new director candidates who pass the initial screening, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider each candidates qualifications and potential contributions to the Board, and determines by majority vote whether to recommend such candidates to the Board of Directors. The final decision to either elect a candidate to fill a vacancy between Annual Meetings or include a candidate on the slate of nominees proposed at an Annual Meeting is made by the Board of Directors. Directors first elected after the 1993 fiscal year must retire at age 72. This excerpt taken from the NKE DEF 14A filed Aug 8, 2008.
