Former governor of Arkansas joins Tyson Foods board

10/12/2015
Packer and tanning group Tyson has appointed the recently retired governor of its home state, Arkansas, to its board of directors. Mike Beebe was the governor of Arkansas between 2007 and 2015, when he stood down because he had reached the term limit. He was previously the state’s attorney general from 2003 to 2007 and was a state senator from 1983 to 2003.

Mr Beebe has now become one of eight independent directors on the ten-member Tyson Foods board.

Chairman, John Tyson, said on announcing the appointment: “Governor Beebe’s extensive leadership experience, ability to collaborate and his long-time support and understanding of business are among the reasons he was recommended by our nominating committee. We believe his skills will benefit Tyson Foods as we continue to grow and become an even better company.”
