By Home Furnishings Business in on October 2006 Industry veteran Don Mitchell has resigned from the La-Z-Boy board of directors.

Mitchell, 62, who served as a board member since 2002 and on the board’s investment performance review committee, intends to pursue another opportunity within the furniture industry.

Mitchell garnered extensive industry experience over the course of his career and had been with Universal Furniture prior to becoming the president of LADD’s case goods group and ultimately senior vice president and president of La-Z-Boy’s case goods group until his retirement in 2002.

“Don was a valued member of our board and with his industry experience he was able to provide us with sound advice, and was particularly helpful as we transitioned our case goods business to be primarily an importer, distributor and marketer over the last few years,” said James Johnston, chairman of the board. “We wish him all the best in his new endeavors.”

A search for a replacement for the board seat is underway.
