Brant Godfrey became a Trustee on the OPS Executive Committee in the Fall of 2020. His first interaction with OPS was serving on the Berkley Manor Steering Committee in the early 2000’s. Brant is a semiretired attorney from Winston-Salem, NC. He and his wife Beverly fell in love with the island in the late 1970’s and have maintained a residence here since 1994. Since he started on the board, Brant has taken over the Land Use Committee and has given OPS an incredible amount of time and knowledge in Real Estate and Law. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication to OPS, Brant!
