BJ’s Wholesale Club announces board of directors change

Changes are coming to BJ’s Wholesale Club’s board of directors.

The Westborough, Mass.-based warehouse club chain announced that Jonathan A. Seiffer would be resigning from the board at the end of his current term.

Seiffer will not stand for re-election at the company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, the retailer said.

“On behalf of our board of directors and senior management, I would like to thank Jon for his dedication and contributions to our company over the last nine years,” said Christopher J. Baldwin, executive chairman of the company. “Jon’s extensive business and leadership experience played a pivotal role in driving BJ’s transformation.”

Seiffer, a senior partner at Leonard Green, has served as a director of the company since 2011, and his term is set to expire on June 18.

Following the annual meeting, the company’s board of directors will consist of nine members and will no longer include directors from its former private-equity sponsors.
