Casey to give up seat on Expeditors? board

Casey to give up seat on ExpeditorsÆ board Expeditors International of Washington announced that its longest serving independent outside board director James J. Casey would not seek re-election to the position when his term expires next year.
   Casey has served on Expeditors' board since the Seattle-based logistics services company went public in September 1984. He also serves as the head of Expeditors' Audit Committee.
   'Given where I am in my personal life, after consultation with my family and with management and other board members, this seems to be the logical point to begin this transition,' Casey said in a statement.
   In addition to serving on Expeditors' board, prior to his retirement, Casey served in a series of executive positions with Control Data Corp., General Mills, Eddie Bauer, Starbucks and Avia.
