Casella Waste Systems, Inc., a regional solid waste, recycling, and resource management services company, announced on Friday that based on a preliminary vote count provided by Casella’s proxy solicitor, all three of Casella’s director nominees were overwhelmingly re-elected by wide margins to the Casella board of directors at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders held Friday in Chittenden, the Business Wire reported. Final certified voting results are expected to be made publicly available next week.
The Casella directors who were re-elected are Chairman and CEO John W. Casella, and Casella’s newest independent directors, William P. Hulligan and James E. O’Connor, both of whom are waste management industry veterans who joined the board earlier this year. O’Connor also serves as the board’s lead independent director.
