MicroVision, Inc. announced that Colonel (Ret.) Richard A. Cowell will not stand for re-election to the board of directors and will step down when his current term expires at the company’s 2017 annual meeting of shareholders. Colonel (Ret.) Cowell, who currently chairs the audit committee, has been a member of MicroVision’s board of directors since August 1996 when it first became a publicly traded company. His extensive military experience, from 25 years of service in the U.S. Army and later as a Principal at Booz Allen Hamilton focused on Department of Defense and other agency contracts, aided MicroVision in its first ten years which were characterized by defense-related contracts. Robert Carlile, a former partner at KPMG LLP, was recently named to the board of directors and to the audit committee.
