(Jan. 26) Shareholders of Scotts Miracle-Gro have elected Adam Hanft to the company’s board of directors during their annual meeting, and re-elected three members of the board for a term that expires in 2013.

Hanft, who replaces retiring board member Patrick Norton, is the founder and CEO of Hanft Unlimited, a New York-based marketing organization. He has served as a member of the company's Innovation and Technology Advisory Board for the past six years.

"We are excited to have Adam as an addition to our board," said Jim Hagedorn, chairman and CEO. "His strong background in consumer marketing, as well as his working knowledge of the company, will allow him to share critical insight with us as we look to continue growing our business.”

Re-elected to the board were Mark Baker, president and chief operating officer of Scotts; Joseph Flannery, former president and CEO of Uniroyal Holding; and Katherine Hagedorn Littlefield, chair of Hagedorn Partnership.

In addition, shareholders ratified the Audit Committee's selection of Deloitte & Touche as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2010.
