After three years leading the growth of Verozza Lighting, Eric Borden, LS, CPC, announced his decision to step aside from his position as President and CEO of Verozza Lighting. Borden will continue to be involved with ALA and the lighting industry through his firm Pathfinder Consultants, Inc. 

"Over the years, it has been an incredible honor and privilege to lead this exceptional team," said Borden of his work with Verozza. "Together, we have achieved remarkable milestones and navigated through challenges with resilience and determination. I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished together, and I have full confidence in the team's ability to continue driving the company's success in the future."

Effective May 3, 2024, Borden will begin the transition process to ensure a smooth handover of responsibilities. During this time, he will be working closely with Verozza's ownership to identify roles and responsibilities for those who will lead Verozza Lighting into its next chapter.
