Press Release: ARDA
July 19, 2002
WASHINGTON, DC -- The American Resort Development Association (ARDA) has announced Jennifer Zentis as Developments
magazine's new associate editor.
Zentis' selection follows an exhaustive search spanning several months and including hundreds of applicants.
"As the magazine's grown, the standard to which it's held has grown, too," said Jason Tostevin, the magazine's
editor in chief. "That made for a very stringent search process-and helped us identify Jennifer as an incredibly
competent candidate. I couldn't be more pleased about the addition to our team."
In her role as associate editor, Zentis will contribute in two capacities: production management and editorial
development. Her responsibilities include execution of the magazine's day-to-day duties, like print planning and
ad management. She also will research, draft and edit copy for publication.
"We're excited to have Jennifer join us," offered Howard Nusbaum, president and CEO of ARDA. "Her
experience, energy and work ethic make her a real find."
Zentis comes to ARDA from public relations giant Burson-Marsteller, where she spent several years in the public
affairs division. Her deft work there with clients like the American Plastics Council, Tyson's Corner Center and
Merrill Lynch saw her quickly promoted to associate.
Zentis is a graduate of Penn State University. She holds a B.S. in business psychology.
