The Picture Archive Council of America has announced its newly elected board for 2010–2012. Blend Images’ Robert Henson is taking over the presidency from Maria Kessler.
Henson joined Blend as director of channel relations and sales in 2007 after nearly a decade at Getty Images, where he held various positions culminating in the post of director of image partner operations. He is the public face of the multi-ethnic image specialist, which recently made the news with the launch of value collection dubbed Boost.
Beginning in May, Henson will lead a PACA board that also includes vice president Nancy Carrizales (Animals, Animals/Earth Scenes), treasurer Dave Herbig (Danita Delimont Stock Photography), secretary Alan Bailey (Rubberball), members at large Larry Minden (Minden Pictures) and Megan Murphy (Getty Images), and immediate past president Kessler.
