CLARK, Pa.—The National Dog Grooming Association of America (NDGAA) recently made two additions to its team.

Sue Zecco, NCMG of Paxton, Mass., has been named NDGAA contest coordinator and will oversee the association’s two trade show competitions–The Fun In The Sun in Orlando, Fla., (held every October), and the Colorado GroomFest in Denver, Colo. (held every June). As a long-time competitor, judge, speaker and current contest coordinator of the well-known HH Backer show, Zecco bring with her a vast array of talent and supervisory skills.

Zecco remarked of her predecessor: “I have found John Stazko to be one of my greatest mentors and so helpful in guiding me through many situations in my advancing career. John put forth a lot of work and research to help bring NDGAA contest to another level; I hope that I can continue on this path with the help of the NDGAA family. I am looking forward to working with Jeff, Wendy Booth and all the others who put in so much time and help make these shows both fun and successful.”

Wendy Booth, NCMG of Colorado Springs, Colo., was appointed to the position of NDGAA certification coordinator. “We feel both honored and privileged to put Wendy’s name to this position,” said the organization in a written statement. “Her genuine love and concern for the pet grooming industry and especially her fellow groomers make Wendy perfect for this job.”

 “[NDGAA] is committed to a better association with a stellar certification program,” said Booth. “We are honored to have simply the best certifiers in our industry to assist those who want to advance their careers and make the master’s journey. We’ve got to roll up our sleeves and get busy! There are groomers in need, and [NDGAA] has the staff for them. I look forward to being instrumental in this effort.”
