WASHINGTON—On Dec. 31, after 21 years of service to the American Nursery & Landscape Association (ANLA), Executive Vice President Bob Dolibois will retire. On Jan. 1, 2013, Michael Geary, CAE, will become the new executive vice president.
Bringing 21 years of experience in association management, including the past two as the CEO of OFA, Geary will helm both organizations. He will split his time between OFA’s office in Columbus, Ohio, and ANLA’s offices in Washington, preparing for a scheduled formation of a new joint organization on Jan. 1, 2014. ANLA’s government relations and research team will remain in Washington.
Dolibois and his wife, Susie, will be recognized for their contributions to ANLA and the Green Industry during the Jan. 10 HRI reception, at MANTS in Baltimore.
