Find directory and create backup

What I'm attempting to do is create a script that will do a search for directories that meet the following criteria:

Code:

find . -name "config" -type d

this comes back with:

./dir1/anotherDir/test_dir/config
./dir1/anotherDir/test_dira/config
./dir2/test/test_dir/config

The results could be 10 directories or only 2, but once it comes back with the results I need to change directories to the parent directory of the config directory, then run

Code:

tar czf config.tgz config
/dir/to/another/script.sh config.tgz
mv config.tgz_new_file_name /backup/dir

I got most of it down, just the part where I want to CD to the parent directory of each result.
