ELYRIA, Ohio — Retired Marine Corps General James L. Jones has resigned from the board of Invacare Corp. in Elyria because he has been appointed as the National Security Advisor to President Barack Obama.
Jones became a director for Invacare, which makes home health care equipment and supplies, in March 2007. His departure leaves Invacare with 10 directors — seven of whom are considered independent of the company.
