Retirement of FTC President Mark Lacy, Succeeded by Dr. Mike Petersen PhD
The Furniture Training Company has announced that the company’s President, Mark Lacy, retired on December 30, 2014. Mr. Lacy’s decision to retire closed a wonderful career of nearly 18 years of service to FTC and it’s parent company, LetterPress Software, Inc. Dr. Mike Petersen, successor of Mr. Lacy said "Mark's vision for service in the retail furniture industry was vital to the formation of The Furniture Training Company. We are grateful for the many valuable contributions Mark has made over the course of his career. His training talents and industry insights have been a real blessing to the company. Mark really cares about customer service and that has been the hallmark of his career." According to Leston Drake, President of LetterPress Software, "Twenty years of training experience coupled with his background in instructional design make Mike the natural choice to succeed Mark. He understands training and knows the furniture industry well. His enthusiasm for improving the lives of professionals in the furniture industry will lead The Furniture Training Company into its next, exciting chapter. We are preparing to launch some new initiatives and we'll rely on Mike's leadership to capitalize on these upcoming opportunities."
