"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."
