As a result of this practice, Lewis A. Levey and F. Gardner Parker are

appointments of Ms. Brunner and Ms. Khator to the Board were made in
anticipation of these retirements. Kelvin A. Westbrook was appointed as
Lead Independent Trust Manager, effective as of January 1, 2017.

2013 and focuses on business strategy, global growth and customer
experience. She served as Chief Operating Officer of WP Engine from May
2013 to October 2013. She served as Chief Operating Officer of
Bazaarvoice (NASDAQ:BV), a market leader in commerce solutions, from

Executive Officer of Nuvo, a wholly owned subsidiary of Trilogy, and
Chief Operating Officer for B-Side (acquired by Slated), a privately
funded entertainment technology company. She has held other executive
management roles at leading technology companies, including Coremetrics
(acquired by IBM), Trilogy, Concero, Oracle and Accenture.
Ms. Khator has been Chancellor of the University of Houston System and
President of the University of Houston since January 2008. Prior to her
appointment, she was provost and senior vice president at the University
of South Florida. Ms. Khator is a past Chair of the Federal Reserve Bank
of Dallas and currently serves on the board of a number of national,
international, state and local associations, including the American

and Greater Houston Partnership.
"We conducted an exhaustive search for people who would further
strengthen our Board's breadth of talent and background, and we are
delighted to have identified such outstanding individuals whom I'm
confident are going to make important and positive impacts on our
company," said Richard Campo, Camden's Chairman and CEO. "Lewis and
Gardner have provided sound, thoughtful guidance during their long
tenure on the Camden Board, and their pursuit of the interests of our
shareholders is an inspiration to all of us. On behalf of the entire
Board and management team, I would like to thank them for their service
to the Company."
President Keith Oden commented, "Heather will bring deep experience in
helping organizations adapt technology, as well as leadership and
management experience, to the board. Renu will bring her experience in
overseeing a four-university organization that serves nearly 70,000
students, has an annual budget that exceeds $1.7 billion, and produces a
