The Hudson Highlands Nature Museum has appointed Focus Media Key Account Director Lisa Kelly to its board of directors.
Recognized in recent years as one of the fastest-growing full-service marketing and public relations firms in the nation, Hudson Valley-based Focus Media is an established leader in its field. With a hearty client roster and several awards under its belt, Focus Media has more than 20 employees and works with small, medium and large-sized businesses, as well as national companies.
“I am thrilled to be part of the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum and to work with such a strong and diverse board of directors,” said Kelly. “The organization’s mission of developing responsible caretakers of the natural world through its special focus on environmental education is one that I firmly believe in and support. I look forward to leveraging my professional expertise for the benefit of the museum and to achieving new milestones in conjunction with the board.”
Kelly earned her bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts from St. Thomas Aquinas College in Sparkill, N.Y., and went on to work for Madden Communications & Marketing, Rockland County’s largest public relations firm.
