Trendway Corporation on Nov. 26 announced the appointment of Mark Rhoades to President. Rhoades replaces Bill Bundy, who served as Interim President from July to October 2019. Jack Chance, who has been serving as Trendway Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for the past six years, has been promoted to the expanded role of CFO and Vice President of Operations and Customer Experience.
