Green Bay Packers
GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Ed Policy will formally take over as president and CEO of the Green Bay Packers at this year’s shareholders meeting.
The team announced that the shareholders meeting is scheduled for 3 p.m. July 25 at Lambeau Field.
Policy is taking over for Mark Murphy, who has reached the organization’s mandatory retirement age.
“I look forward to Ed taking over leadership of the Packers,” Murphy said in a news release. “He’s been a tremendous asset to the organization and I’m confident he will be an excellent steward in the role.”
Shareholders will also vote on three nominees for the Packers board of directors: Timothy M. Bergstrom, Laurie A. Butz and Policy. Bergstrom is president and CEO of Bergstrom Automotive and Butz is president and CEO of Capital Credit Union.
“Tim’s work at Bergstrom over the years, as well as his work in the community, has provided him with an excellent range of experiences that will guide his contributions to the Board,” Murphy said. “Laurie’s work in the financial industry, as well as her dedicated volunteer leadership for a number of nonprofit organizations, has given her great perspective that will serve the Board well.”
Murphy and William F. Kress will move to emeritus status on the board of directors.
Shareholders will receive proxy voting information next month, the organization says. Each shareholder account will be provided with four tickets to the meeting.
The meeting comes two days after the start of training camp and eight days before the annual Family Night practice at Lambeau Field.
