Herff Jones, the achievement division of Varsity Brands and the provider of graduation and educational products and services, appointed  Ken Moore as Chief Technology Officer. Moore reports to Herff Jones President Steve Down and Varsity Brands Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Jaime Jaramillo.
