Merriman, CEO of A.R.E. Announces Retirement

I've informed the A.R.E. Board of Directors that I would like to retire. I've had over 18 wonderful years with A.R.E. and I've decided it's time for some new challenges. If you're wondering, my health is fine and A.R.E. has never been stronger!

A search committee has been appointed and we've retained an executive search firm that specializes in trade associations to assist us. I will be part of the search committee and I've committed to stay on long enough after my replacement starts to ensure a smooth transition.

I owe a big thank you to everyone who has supported me and A.R.E. over the years. We have accomplished many things working together. I hope to see you at GlobalShop in mid-April.
