The RV Technical Institute (RVTI) announced a leadership transition set to take effect at the start of 2025, with Casey Tubman, president of Newmar, stepping into the role of board chair.
The announcement also brings news of two new board members, Fun Town RV Founder and CEO Jarrod McGhee, and Blue Compass RV Vice President of Service and Parts Dave Wilmore, both beginning one-year terms on January 1, 2025.
Tubman will succeed Mary Pouliot, executive vice president of Thetford, who will transition to her new role as RVIA Chair while continuing to serve on the institute’s board.
Tubman brings a wealth of experience to his new role as chair. Since July 2022, Tubman has served as president of Newmar, a subsidiary of Winnebago Industries, following more than 25 years in executive roles at Whirlpool Corporation.
During his tenure at Whirlpool, he held various leadership positions, including vice president and Global Platform Leader for Laundry, overseeing worldwide product development strategies.
His leadership at Whirlpool was marked by notable achievements, such as driving revenue and profit growth in the company’s North American laundry and dishwasher segments.
“A year ago, I was asked to replace Don Clark as the Winnebago Industries representative on the RV Technical Institute Board as I have a passion for customer service and keeping customers experiencing the outdoors,” Tubman stated in a News and Insights report of RVIA.
“I look forward to continuing the great work started by Curt Hemmeler and others, taking the RV Technical Institute to the next level of providing quality service technicians with training credentials that will keep them at the top of their game and our industry’s customers enjoying the outdoors,” he added.
