Ohio Grange Insurance Appoints Newest Board Member

Columbus, Ohio-based Grange Mutual Casualty Co. has announced that it has appointed M. Marnette Perry as its newest board member.

Perry is senior vice president for The Kroger Co., one of the nation’s largest retail grocery chains with more than $60 billion in annual sales.

Perry joined Kroger in 1972 as a part-time cashier while attending Ohio University and since joining Kroger, she has held a variety of positions with increasing responsibility. Throughout her 35 years career Kroger, Perry has played an instrumental role in shaping several of Kroger’s trademark customer offerings and helping the company to No. 21 on the Fortune 500 list, the Grange statement said.
