**Board Leadership

The Board is responsible for oversight of the Company and management. The Chairman of the Board is selected by the Board and the current Chairman is Scott E.

The Board views this separation as a means to allow the Board to fulfill its role in risk oversight through a collaborative, yet independent, interaction with Company management.
