The board of directors of All-America Selections and Nat’l. Garden Bureau Inc. have selected Diane Blazek as their new exec. director. She succeeds Nona Wolfram-Koivula, who held the position for 25 years. Blazek was previously president at Arment Dietrich Inc., a boutique public relations company, and president and publisher at Ball Publishing.
“I am honored to be the one chosen to carry on Nona's work with these two organizations,” Blazek said. “Times have changed and there are certainly challenges ahead but there are also some wonderful opportunities for both organizations and I look forward to building upon the foundations in place to work with and benefit both the horticulture and gardening communities.”
