Ballard to return to head firm

The partners operating Olson/Ballard have dissolved their partnership and the former owner will return to lead the public relations company.

Mike Ballard, who joined Systems Research and Development in August 2001 and remains a shareholder of that company, left the company in August when it shifted goals. At Olson/Ballard, he will resume using the name of Ballard Communications as the new owner and president.

The company has six employees. Mark Olson, who headed Olson/Ballard for a year, said he is exploring options in strategic marketing and communications in Las Vegas.
