CFO Scott Musil; former Walmart Stores CEO William R. Fields; former MillerCoors LLC CEO Leo Kiely; and O'Reilly Law Group chairman and CEO John F. O'Reilly to its board.

The four new directors join HC Government CEO Edwin Stanton, company treasurer Philip Kurlander and secretary Robert Kaplan on the board.
