David Reberger will return as president, while Andrew Stubbs was named vice-president for metropolitan stores and Paul Heilman was named vice-president for independents in regional areas.
Reberger took the opportunity to welcome several new members to the management committee.
"I would like to take this opportunity to give a warm welcome Tony Snell, John Tsapicounis, Cecelia Burgman and Andrew Wilsmore, who join our board for the first time. We thank you for your eagerness, and look forward to your valuable contribution over the next year and beyond,” Reberger said.
