Independent Director Joins Board of Sasser Family Holdings
Schaumburg, IL (PRWEB) January 19, 2016 -- In a continuing effort to strengthen their corporate leadership, Sasser Family Holdings, Inc. has added Toby Luther, President/CEO of Lone Rock Resources, as an independent director on the Sasser Family Holdings Board of Directors.
“Our board is comprised of both family and non-family members. We believe good governance of Sasser is enhanced by outside perspectives that bring unique, valuable insight to guide our corporate direction,” said Fred R. Sasser, Chairman of the Board at Sasser Family Holdings. “Sasser Family Holdings and Lone Rock Resources are similar in that they share a deep history as family businesses founded on strong values and a focus on stewardship. Toby brings a fount of management experience for family businesses, including how to incorporate non-family senior leadership into a values-focused family operation. He will be a welcome addition to our board.”
Sasser Family Holdings also values Luther’s experience with other boards. Luther currently serves on the boards of Wildlife Safari, the Roseburg Area Chamber of Commerce, Umpqua Training & Employment, and the Ford Family Foundation, a $900M private foundation that creates "successful citizens and vital rural communities" in Oregon and Northern California.
Luther is the first non-family CEO to oversee closely-held Lone Rock Resources. The Roseburg, Oregon-based, second and third generation family-owned timber company manages more than 128,000 acres of forest with a dedication to sustainable forestry and social responsibility. He joined the company in 2001, and was named CEO in 2009 after holding positions as the company's chief operating officer, vice president of finance and chief financial officer.
