Wildwood is pleased to announce the appointment of Tanya Buechner as its new Director of Communications. Buechner succeeds Tom Schreck, who retired after 25 years in the position. In this key leadership role, Buechner will be responsible for developing and implementing comprehensive internal and external communication strategies, managing public relations, including essential media outreach and crisis communications, and overseeing all digital content, social media channels, website management, and video production.
