Chatham Lodging Trust has announced the appointment of Bill Brewer to the company’s board of trustees, effective immediately. Brewer will serve as an independent director and chair the audit committee. He’s currently executive vice president, CFO and treasurer of Education Realty Trust, a student housing real estate company. Before joining EdR, he served as executive vice president and CFO for Sedgwick Claims Management Services having spent the majority of his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers. A certified public accountant (inactive), Brewer holds both a bachelor’s degree in commerce and business administration from the University of Alabama.
“Bill brings tremendous REIT experience given his current role at EdR and his involvement servicing many of the hotel REITs throughout his career at PwC dating back to the 1990’s when many of the initial lodging REITs became publicly traded. We are confident that Bill’s financial expertise will contribute greatly to our board and management team,” said Fisher.
