He is also chairman of the boards of BNA subsidiary companies BNA International Inc., The McArdle Printing Company, Inc., Institute of Management and Administration, Inc.,.

Wojcik, who will add the role of chairman to his position as chief executive officer, is a graduate of Washington and Lee University and received his J.D. from Catholic University’s Columbus School of Law. He is a member of the American Bar Association and the Virginia State Bar.

Former BNA Board Chairman Sandra Degler said, “I was honored to be the first woman to chair the BNA Board of Directors, but good succession planning is critical to a company's continuing success.  I have worked with both Greg and Paul for many years, and have the utmost confidence that they will provide BNA with effective and energetic leadership.”
