The Floor Installation Association of North America (FIANA) Board of Directors has announced Gary Verhey will take over as president/ceo on Jan. 1, 2010, succeeding founding officer and current ceo/president Jim Lee, who is retiring.
“In this industry over the last number of years, a great deal of change and evolution has taken place. It’s time for a change and some fresh ideas,” said Lee, a 53-year veteran of the industry. “I’ve known Gary since our days with Roberts Consolidated back in the mid ‘60s. He built a very successful company in Inland Northwest [Distributing] and brings a lot of experience to FIANA.”
FIANA said Lee and Verhey will work closely together during the transition, and the takeover in 2010.
