TJX Cos. reported today that its shareholders elected David T. Ching and Michael F. Hines to its board of directors.

Headquartered in Framingham, TJX is an off-price retailer that operates such chains as T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, A.J. Wright, and Bob's Stores.

Since 1994, Ching has been senior vice president and the chief information officer for Safeway Inc., a California-based food and drug retailer, TJX said.

From 1995 until March, Hines served as executive vice president and chief financial officer for Dick's Sporting Goods Inc., a Pittsburgh-based sporting goods retailer, TJX said.

Ching and Hines were elected at TJX's annual meeting earlier this week, and they joined a slate of eight other ongoing directors who were reelected at the meeting, the company said.
