BRADLEE TALCOTT HOWE

Bradlee T. Howe is President of Financial Managers Trust, a Massachusetts business trust which he established in 1983. The Company provides part-time financial management to a number of rapidly-growing smaller companies, primarily in New England and Florida. Combining strategic planning with an operating emphasis on cash management, budgeting, cash flow projection, and administrative systems, Howe and his associate monitor and control the week-to-week funds flow of a half-dozen client companies through a series of reports and analytical techniques developed by Howe and a succession of associates during the past 25 years.

Financial Managers' client relationships typically are ongoing, extending from several months to several years, usually on a monthly retainer basis. Since the inception of the Company, Howe has been involved in the provision of more than $300,000,000 in equity and debt for working capital and equipment financing for more than 200 growing client companies. His participation as an active senior manager of all these varied firms has provided him with a breadth of experience that is uncommon among small company managers. As a result, his expertise encompasses organizational issues from competitive analysis to management selection and development to executive coaching.

A graduate of the Harvard Business School and Harvard College, Howe served twelve years in the Harvard administration, first as the Associate Director of Admissions, Director of Student Employment, and General Manager of Harvard Student Agencies, Inc. Subsequently, Howe became the Associate Dean for External Affairs for the Harvard Business School, responsible for the school's primary relationships with its corporate and alumni constituencies around the world. During his three-year service as overseer of the School's fund-raising process, contributions to the annual fund tripled, while corporate donations rose by 50%.

Howe and his wife, Anne, are Massachusetts natives and the parents of five. In addition to his strong family interests, Howe has been the Moderator of the Follen Community Church in Lexington, MA where he has previously served as the Chairman of the Finance Committee, Capital Fund Chairman and Trustee. Howe served as well as a director of SBANE, the Smaller Business Association of New England, and as President of the Harvard Business School Association of Boston. He and his family enjoy travel, as well as sports and gardening at their homes in Waltham, MA and Fort Myers, FL.
