President and CEO, Steve Fass commented: “The entire Board thanks George for his diligent leadership and enthusiastically welcomes Jack back to the head of the table.”
Byrne added, “George and I have been colleagues and good friends for almost three decades, and I would like to personally thank him for stepping in as Chairman for the past couple of years. I enthusiastically support Steve and the many talented managers at our operating companies and will be their biggest cheerleader going forward. As always, the Board and I will continue to focus our attention on delivering superior returns to our owners.”
