In addition, for some time, its Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee has been focused on crafting an orderly and gradual plan for director succession and refreshment. In connection with Encompass Health's previously announced Board refreshment process, the Company announced that five directors, Yvonne M. Curl, Charles M. Elson, Leo I. Higdon, Jr., John E. Maupin, Jr., and L. Edward Shaw, Jr., will be retiring from its Board at this year's annual meeting of stockholders and will not stand for re-election. Accordingly, following the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, the Encompass Health Board will be comprised of 11 directors, 10 of whom will be independent and five of whom will have been appointed in the last three years, bringing a broad mix of skills, perspectives, experience, tenure and diversity to promote and support the Company's long-term strategy.
