Jeb Bush quits another corporate board

Washington Post - In another sign that he is serious about a 2016 presidential bid, former Florida governor Jeb Bush resigned from the board of a Florida-based real estate firm, Rayonier Inc.

The move, disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Monday, follows recent announcements that Bush would be resigning from other business obligations. Last week, he said he would be stepping down from the board of Tenet Healthcare Corp, which saw its profits rise from the enactment of President Obama's health-care initiative. Shortly before that, Bush announced he would leave his advisory role with Barclays, the British-based banking firm.

Rayonier, a real estate investment trust that is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, owns and manages millions of acres of forest land in the United States and New Zealand. It's headquarters is in Jacksonville, Fla.
