"I thank John and Grenetta for their continued service to this board and look forward to their ongoing contributions,” Snyder said.
Dimmick is vice president of Walters Dimmick Petroleum, Inc. He is a member of the Michigan Petroleum Association Board of Directors and is a member and past president of Three Rivers Area Chamber of Commerce. He will continue to represent individuals from independent petroleum marketers.
