After a four month search, the Arabian Horse Association (AHA) has named Gary Zimmerman as its new Executive Vice President out of a field that included 120 candidates. “Gary's quick and direct answers to the Board proved to be the deciding factor for all of us,” says AHA President Myron Krause. “He welcomes the opportunity to use his talents to meet our mission. After listening to his confident explanation of what he can bring to AHA, the board and executive committee felt he was the best match for our association.”

Zimmerman has an MBA from the University of Denver in Denver, CO, with an emphasis on marketing. Over a span of 20 years, he served in executive management positions in corporate environments at the regional and national levels. He has proven skills in leadership, technology, consultative services, strategic planning, sales, marketing, financial analysis and budgeting. His ability to develop high-performance teams in merged companies and execute successful business plans are particular strengths.

Most recently, Zimmerman was Vice President of Business Operations at the Denver Operations Center of 180 Connect, Inc. As North America's largest satellite/cable/security/home technology services company, 180 Connect has 105 branches and over 4,000 employees. Zimmerman was responsible for security installation and services nationwide and oversaw staff operations and field technicians coast to coast.

Zimmerman enjoys recreational horseback riding and is an avid tennis player. He and his wife, Peggy, live in Greenwood Village, CO, with their 16-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter.
