Chairing the committee is Chief Investment Officer Jonathan Hook, and he will be supported by executive recruiter Gary Hudepohl of Hudepohl and Associates. Additional members include: Javaune Adams-Gaston, Herb Asher, Ralph Boerner, Richard Dietrich, Brad Harris, Ben Jay, Jay Kasey, John Roberts, and Caroline Whitacre.
