Owens Corning announced last week that Michelle Collins, former vice chair, senior audit partner, and National Automotive Sector leader for Deloitte & Touche LLP, has been elected to the company’s Board of Directors. 

According to a Dec. 5 news release, Collins has been appointed to serve on the Audit and Finance Committees. In addition, W. Howard Morris will not stand for re-election at the company’s next annual meeting of stockholders.

“We are pleased to welcome Michelle to our Board of Directors,” said Brian Chambers, chair and chief executive officer. “With over four decades of deep financial expertise and advising companies across multiple industries, she will bring significant value and insights to our Board and Owens Corning as we remain focused on sustaining our strong financial performance while executing our strategic agenda.”

Collins joined Deloitte & Touche in 1984, working as an audit partner working with Deloitte’s largest global audit clients from 1996 until her retirement. She also served as National Automotive Sector Leader and a Senior Partner, consulting with large global clients in the automotive, manufacturing, and consumer industries. 

Collins also served for six years as vice chair of the Finance and Audit Committee and chair of the Governance Committee on the Deloitte & Touche US Board of Directors. She earned a bachelor of arts degree in accounting from Western Michigan University.

Morris’ announcement follows a long tenure on the company’s Board of Directors, which began in 2007.

“We appreciate Howard’s contributions and service throughout his 17 years as a member of our Board of Directors,” said Chambers. “His broad experience and knowledge of finance have been invaluable in shaping the strategic choices we have made to strengthen the company.”
