John Toaspern will oversee the new USPB Marketing Department as the chief marketing officer. Toaspern has been the USPB vice president for international marketing since January 1999.
The domestic marketing vice president position will be replaced with two director positions to help develop programs and assure all requirements related to the USDA international market development funding programs are met.
