Utah Business Magazine, in conjunction with the National Association of Corporate Directors, Utah Chapter has named Ron Poelman, a member of the USANA Board of Directors as a 2008 Outstanding Director.
Poelman has served on the USANA Board of Directors for over ten years, coming on board in 1995. During his reign on the board, Poelman has watched the company grow to become the 8th largest public company in Utah. There have been many ups and downs during the past decade and Poelman has helped the company avoid many of the pitfalls that are common with the rapid growth of a company. Poelman also assisted Usana in its transition from a small family owned business to a public company. He was one of five directors from various Utah companies honored at a recent awards ceremony sponsored by Utah Business Magazine.
The annual Outstanding Director Award is presented to directors who have shown the leadership and business skills that it takes to grow and build a business and achieve success. Utah Business said that the Outstanding Director Award honors those directors who have demonstrated the exceptional business and leadership skills that have helped their respective companies achieve great success.
“Ron has played a vital role in USANA’s success over the past 13 years,” said USANA CEO Dave Wentz. “His knowledge and experience have been a true asset to our board, and the entire USANA family applauds him on this well-deserved recognition.”
In Poelman’s other life, when not serving on Usana’s board, he is a partner in the Salt Lake City law firm of Jones, Waldo, Holbrook & McDonough, where he is head of the Corporate and Securities Practice Group.
