Border States also grew through acquisition during White\u2019s leadership, with Advance Electrical Supply, Sequel Electrical Supply and Winston Engineering becoming part of the company, and the upcoming acquisition of Dominion Electric Supply Company, Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>White\u2019s leadership focused on people and technology, with emphasis on performance and positioning Border States as an industry leader. He made a lasting mark on employee-owners and the company, setting up Border States for continued success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Like most, I found the electrical distribution industry by accident, and I\u2019m so glad I did,\u201d White said. \u201cAlong the way, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to learn from so many in the industry who were willing to share their knowledge and experience. I\u2019ve had the privilege to work for great<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>companies and develop lifelong relationships with teammates, customers, vendors and distributors. The future of the electrical distribution industry is bright, and I have confidence in Border States and Jason\u2019s leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With David\u2019s retirement, Jason Seger, President at Border States, will take on the role of CEO effective April 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;David is someone I have had the pleasure of knowing prior to him joining Border States,\u201d said Seger. \u201cHe has been an amazing mentor and friend to me and to so many others and has made a tremendous impact on Border States and its future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Border States has more than 3,200 employee- owners and 120 branches in 29 states. The Branch Support Center (corporate office) is located in Fargo, North Dakota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BorderStatesShealy-web.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BorderStatesShealy-web.png?resize=300%2C90&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"David White to Retire as Border States CEO\" class=\"wp-image-53819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BorderStatesShealy-web.png?resize=300%2C90&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BorderStatesShealy-web.png?resize=768%2C231&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BorderStatesShealy-web.png?w=856&amp;ssl=1 856w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FARGO, ND &#8211; Border States announces the retirement of David White, CEO, effective March 31.
