SIOUX FALLS, S.D., (November 13, 2017) - Raven Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:RAVN) announced today that Mark Griffin will retire from the company’s Board of Directors effective December 4, 2017.
“Raven has benefited greatly from Mark’s leadership and guidance during his tenure on the board of directors,” said Marc LeBaron, Raven’s Chairman of the Board. “His business acumen, along with his deep understanding of the Raven culture, has been invaluable.”
