New Editor for Progress magazine.

Halifax, N.S. - Neville Gilfoy, president & publisher of Progress magazine is pleased to announce a change in the senior editorial position at Progress Corp. Editor David Holt is leaving the position he founded in 1994, and has been replaced by colleague Pamela Scott-Crace, who also retains the position of Associate Publisher, Content.

"Ms. Scott-Crace is well-known to the readers and advertisers of Progress magazine, and I’m excited that her familiarity with the magazine’s positioning will build on Mr. Holt’s tradition of insightful coverage of the region’s business community," says Mr. Gilfoy.

Mr. Holt continues his association with Progress Corp. as the contract editor of Progress Halifax magazine, and as a consultant on editorial issues for Progress Corp.

"This is what succession planning is all about," says Ms. Scott-Crace. "We preach it in our magazine, and now we’re living it. I’ve had the good fortune to work closely with David Holt for the past ten years. I will build on that experience to begin moving the magazine into its next phase. I see us moving forward with equal measures of maturity, earned under Holt’s leadership and energy, as we tap into the mindset of a new generation of business leaders that is emerging across this region and the northeastern U.S."

Progress is the region’s leading business magazine. Its focus is the formation, retention and repatriation of capital; the retention and attraction of highly qualified, well educated, motivated and innovative people; the determination and development of the Atlantica region.

As departing editor, Holt stated "over the past 12 years, the magazine has evolved into one of the most respected business publications in the country. The Progress brand has become synonymous with success, rejuvenation, and hope. This is something we, our readers and our advertisers can be proud of!"

Mr. Holt has launched a new company - Context Consulting - to provide consulting services in strategy, communication, and facilitation. "In times of rapid change," says Holt; "your greatest opportunities and biggest threats are rarely directly in front of you."Gilfoy adds, "I believe David will continue his successes, started at Progress, and bring his vision, extraordinary thinking and exceptional word craft to a larger client base."

Progress magazine is Atlantic Canada’s best-read business magazine, reaching more than 100,000 readers per issue. The magazine is published 10 times a year and is the flagship publication of the Halifax-based company ProgressCorp, publisher of Progrès, Nova Scotia Open to the World, Progress Halifax, Progress Visitor, Progress Book of Lists, and Progress Research and Development.
