Linda Hollingsead, Omaha World-Herald
My name is Linda Hollingsead. I have been a member of AAFO since 2004.
I was the ADDYs PR chair in 2010.
After completing my MA in Sociology at Wichita State University, I moved to Omaha in 2003 and secured the Research Coordinator position at the Omaha World-Herald. As the lead researcher for the Consumer Preference Study, I had an opportunity to use my research skills and gain valuable marketing and media experience.
In June of this year, I was promoted to the position of BH Media Group Corporate Research Supervisor. In this position, I work with contacts at each of the BH Media Group papers to support sales tool utilization, as well as oversee the World-Herald’s market research information and planning, competitive media tracking and market share analysis.
What is your favorite place to vacation?
Marco Island, FL… ideally renting a house near the beach during the off season. The more family members the better!
What was your first job?
Counter sales at Mr. Donut
What do you do in your free time? Any hobbies?
I enjoy bass fishing with my husband, Greg, and spending quality time with my children, Andrew, Ben & Haley, and their families.

Dogs…2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels…Tobey & Riley
If you could have any job you wanted, what would you do and why?
Work on a mission project with my husband/family. We have been very blessed and hope to devote time to serving others after we retire, for the second time (we are a career military family).
