FMPA Creates Public Relations/Human Resources Division, Announces Other Changes

ORLANDO, Fla., May 5, 2006 – Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA) announced several organizational changes to enhance the operational effectiveness of FMPA’s staff. The most significant change is the creation of a new division combining the Public Relations, Human Resources and Administrative Services functions.

Mark McCain, formerly FMPA’s Public Relations/Public Affairs Manager, will oversee the new division as Assistant General Manager, Public Relations and Human Resources.

The division formerly known as Member and Administrative Services will be renamed to reflect its focus on Member Services and the growing responsibilities of Information Systems. Tom Reedy will continue to lead this division as Assistant General Manager, Member Services and Information Systems.

Several other organizational changes were also announced. Sharon Adams, formerly Acting Human Resources Manager, was promoted to Human Resources/Administrative Services Manager. Stacey Adams, formerly Payroll Benefits Coordinator, was promoted to Human Resources Assistant.

All changes will be accomplished within FMPA’s existing budget for salaries and benefits and within the same number of authorized staff positions.
