Third generation family member Mindi VandenBosch will take the role of Vice President of Operations at Vermeer Corporation. The announcement was made Tuesday afternoon.

“Mindi’s passion for people and her love for problem solving bring important qualities to our operations. Personally, I’m proud to have my sister take this role and oversee such a critical part of our business and lead a large, important part of our workforce,” said Jason Andringa, president and CEO.
