Chair during a momentous time in our history, and as a key member of our Corporate Governance and
Compensation Committee in recent years. We are confident that Carol&#146;s expertise in insurance
operations and finance will help ensure that the perspectives of our clients are well represented
in our deliberations during this period of accelerating change in our industry, and we welcome her
to our Board.&#148;
