Andrew Criswell--owner and CEO of Pee Dee Christian Book & Supply in Florence, S.C.--has been appointed to fill a vacancy on CBA's board of directors.

Effective immediately, Criswell takes over for Jim Whitaker--owner of New Life Christian Stores in Lynchburg, Va.--who resigned last October, CBA said.

"We are elated that Andrew is joining us as a member of our board of directors," said CBA Chair-elect George Thomsen. "Andrew's knowledge of the industry, experience as a successful Christian retailer and as a member of other institutional boards will serve our industry and association well.

"His keen insight, business acumen, integrity and unique perspective promise to be of great advantage to us at this time," he added. "We are blessed to have a person of Andrew's caliber joining our board."

Criswell has been a member of Christian Retailing's editorial advisory board since 2008.
