The Historic Pella Trust has announced a new director.

Lynn Hilga Branderhorst will serve its new executive director, and will fill the vacancy created when current director Melynda Van Zee announced that she and her family would be moving away from Pella. Branderhorst tells KNIA/KRLS news that she grew up in Pella and graduated from Central College, and has a resume that includes years of administrative and marketing experience in the nonprofit sector. We have more with Branderhorst on Let’s Talk Pella.
