The American Heart Association has a new executive director for its Tri-Counties Division. Julia Nagy, who served as business development director for the association’s Santa Barbara Division, is now heading up the organization that covers Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties. Nagy replaces Liz Adams, who has taken on a new role in the organization as vice president of social marketing in the affiliate serving California, Nevada, and Utah.
According to a press release, Nagy joined the association a year ago and was credited for the record success of this year’s Start! Heart Walk in Santa Barbara. The Santa Barbara resident graduated cum laude from Wheaton College in 2003.
