HUMAN RESOURCES/BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

Administration Analysis Development

Consumer Education Communications Employee Relations

Summary...

Articulate and capable, I combine strong interpersonal and leadership

skills

with attention to detail and multiple proficiencies. A team player

unafraid to

initiate action and take calculated risks, I believe in supporting the

organization's interests to the best of my ability. Able to work

autonomously

or coordinate the efforts of multiple internal and external clients, I

am known

as an analytical employee who maintains a broad perspective while

achieving

specific goals.

Capabilities Profile...

More than 23 years of experience with SBC Communications Inc. (SBC)

has prepared

me to be a valued employee of any organization. I have worked the last

seven

years in the Human Resources department managing the computation,

recommendation and delivery of employee benefits to active, retired

and

separated employees as well as to their surviving spouses and

dependents; I also

wrote and developed career path training courses for nonbargained

employees.

During my career with SBC, I also have worked in the Marketing

department,

Procurement department, and Support Services department. All of my SBC

assignments have included extensive intra- and inter-departmental

process

analysis and documentation responsibilities.

My proven capabilities are applicable in a variety of areas, including

administration; advertising; business analysis, development, and

management;

corporate and consumer communications; employee and consumer

education; external

and government affairs; human resources; long range planning;

marketing; and

public affairs and relations.

Key Career Accomplishments...

Currently providing human resources consulting services on-site at VDK

Frozen Foods in Saint Louis.

Participated in and contributed to the 1996-1998 benefits outsourcing

efforts of SBC Communications Inc., a project that required the

transfer of

knowledge and culture to the vendor chosen to deliver SBC pension and

survivor

benefits. The transfer demanded close contact and coordination with

the New

Jersey vendor, Kwasha HR Solutions, an operating unit of

PricewaterhouseCoopers

LLP (PwC), including direct support of its training and internal

documentation

efforts. In conjunction with this project and prior to my separation

from SBC,

PwC solicited and contracted my consulting services as it began its

management

and delivery of SBC health and welfare benefits. Following my

separation from

SBC, I rendered these services on-site for a period of ten weeks at

Kwasha's

Raleigh, North Carolina service center, and ten additional weeks from

my home

office.

Advised and assisted the HR/payroll SAP conversion team in the 1997

development of business rules and procedures for the future

environment delivery

of payroll-contingent benefits to active employees.

Appointed to lead the Saint Louis contingent of a 1995 SBC task force

formed to search for and select a new life insurance carrier, a

project

initiated by senior management at SBC's move from Missouri to Texas.

My

knowledge and experience of benefits delivery and group life

insurance, along

with my professional relationship with the incumbent vendor, General

American,

allowed me to illustrate the immediate advantages of maintaining the

status quo

as well as the disadvantages of a premature dissolution of the

relationship. My

efforts were key to the continuation of the SBC/General American

partnership

through the present and for the foreseeable future.

Participated in and contributed to the design, and planned and

executed

the 1994 rollout, of the Employee Beneficiary Designation summary plan

description and user materials necessary to major benefit plan

revisions

affecting SBC Communications and all of its subsidiaries.

Co-established in 1992 in Saint Louis, Missouri the Survivor Benefits

Unit

(SBU) of HR's Benefit Services operation, consolidating and

centralizing the

delivery of death benefits for SBC and all of its subsidiaries.

Participated

and assisted in the design of the SBU's mechanized systems.

Represented the Human Resources department as a member of the 1991

Communications Workers of America (CWA)/SBC United Way Campaign team.

Planned

and executed internal United Way presentations.

Appointed a member of the SBC 1991 Labor Relations bargaining team,

participating in pre-bargaining assessment and planning activities and

acting in

an advisory/inquiry response capacity during CWA bargaining sessions.

intellectual

property.

Tracked in 1983 all major SBC reorganization activities for the

purchasing

division of Procurement as required by the Department of

Justice/federal

levels

of Procurement personnel and the use and administration of a

Bellcore-provided

mechanized tracking system.

Provided in 1981 procurement support to El Paso, Texas operations

during

El Paso's ownership transition from Mountain Bell to SBC. This project

involved

product and supplier conversion assistance, direct and remote field

assistance

and the development and provision of methods and on-site training

services to El

Paso personnel.

Initiated, beginning in 1975 and continuing into 1983, the assumption

of

procurement-related duties previously handled by Western Electric and

SBC

general level departments. These included the development,

documentation and

administration of methods and procedures for document and supply
