Petaluma trucking signage company Kresky Signs named Cecelia Miller Brown as its new president.

She will step into her new role as president in August when current president, Don Coover III, retires.

Born and raised in Petaluma, Brown’s father and late brother ran the company previously.

The original company was founded in 1900, but it wasn’t until 1951 that Kresky Signs began production of metal signs for the national market. The original manufacturing branch of the company moved to southern California in 1971, while the sign company remained in Petaluma.
