There will be an election for two (2) new board members

Your candidates are:

Marc Palsson: Owns M.J.Palsson Enterprises in Rona Gimli, north of Winnipeg. This born entrepreneur both managed and owned numerous businesses of various types before entering the field of home renovations in 1999, with the opening of a 6,000 sq. ft. store in Arborg, Manitoba. In April of 2008, Marc joined the RONA network. Two years later, he opened a 15,000. sq. ft. building material store in Gimli. His passion, talent and business acumen are among the qualities that make Marc a true entrepreneur.

Tom Bell: Joining the industry fresh out of high school Tom started out at Beaver Lumber. After learning and engaging his passion he was able to progress quickly through many areas of our industry; retail, wholesale, distribution and buying. After catering to the retail industry for 20+ years, in 2000 Tom opened his own store in Las Salle Manitoba, Jeni’s Food and Hardware. The now 2 building, 15 staff operation has occupied plenty of his time yet he still makes himself available to many local executive boards and community clubs. Tom’s knowledge and commitment make him an excellent addition to the organization and industry.
