Polaris Industries, Inc. announced its Board of Directors voted to elect Scott Wine, company's Chief Executive Officer, as Chairman of the Board. Wine succeeds Greg Palen, who has been Chairman for 11 years and has nearly 20 years of service on the Board. Scott will assume the role of Chairman effective immediately.

Palen will step down from the Board following the Annual Shareholders meeting on April 25, 2013. The Board also announced it has elected John Wiehoff as Lead Director. Wiehoff, who has served as CEO of C.H. Robinson Worldwide since 2002 and as the company's Chairman since 2007, possesses an extensive background managing complex corporate financial issues.

This experience, along with John's many other talents, has contributed significantly to Polaris' success during his time as a member of the Polaris Board, which began in 2007.
