Previously, from 2003 to 2016, Ms. Vernick was a managing director at Sterling Partners, a private equity firm investing across education, healthcare and business services. Ms. Vernick served as an independent trustee of Flowstone Opportunity Fund and was a member of its audit committee. Ms. Vernick serves as a board member for the Avathon Capital portfolio companies Academic Programs International, ReUp Education, Shorelight, Edvance, Summit Professional Education and OculusIT. Ms. Vernick is Vice Chair of the Illinois Venture Capital Association (IVCA), a founding Board member of the IVCA Foundation and serves on the Steering Committee of the KPMG & University of Chicago Economic Forum. As a director of Huron, Ms. Vernick will receive compensation in accordance with the Company’s non-employee director compensation practices described in the Company’s 2026 Annual Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2026.
