officer of a multi-billion dollar consumer products company. Mr. O'Connor has
over 20 years of experience in measuring, monitoring and managing credit,
compliance, regulatory, operational and fiduciary risk. Ms. Brennan has
extensive experience in land use, zoning and planning board matters, as well as
