The new, independent directors join Chairman Kathy Bazemore, President and CEO Preetha Pulusani, and J.L. Sanders, Company Secretary on the Board of Directors. They are:

He has contributed to the growth of The Crafton Group, a fully-integrated site acquisition and tower construction firm focused on providing services to the telecommunication and tower industries through application of his business acumen in financial analysis, business development, and corporate expansion. Previously, Noah was the Chairman and CEO for EVault, which provides online data backup and recovery services and was acquired by Seagate in February 2007.

CU Solutions attained an overall #1 ranking in Technology and Support by both Filene Research Institute and Credit Union Executive Society (CUES) in multiple years. The success of CU Solutions' margins, technology offerings and support infrastructure led Jack Henry & Associates to acquire CU Solutions. His notable accomplishments include starting a new Credit Union for Westinghouse and serving as its Treasurer and later President and serving as lead developer and architect of the National Credit Union Administration's (NCUA) Asset Management System - a multi-branch system used by NCUA.

He previously worked with the Space program at Cape Canaveral, Kennedy Space Center, and the Marshall Space Flight Center to help with the transition from the Apollo program to the Space Shuttle program. His medical orthopedic space shuttle experiment which flew on Columbia in 1990 led him to co-found Endius, Inc. a surgical device company recently acquired by the world's largest orthopedic company, Zimmer.
