He was appointed by the President of the United States to the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee in 1995 and served on the committee for ten years and as chairman for two years. Mr. Honeycutt previously served on the boards of directors of Beckman Coulter, Inc., Tenet Healthcare Corporation and FHP International Corporation.

“We are very pleased to welcome Van Honeycutt to our board,” said Steven G. Miller, the company’s chairman, president and CEO. “Van enjoyed a distinguished career in a wide range of leadership roles at Computer Sciences Corporation and we look forward to benefitting from his executive experience and technology background as we build upon our 58-year history and position our business for continued success.”
