Highlights & achievements

> WHILE WORKING WITH THE GREEN TEAM SUBCOMMITTEE, I INFLUENCED THE

CREATION OF A RIDESHARE PROGRAM FOR THE CORPORATE FACILITIES THROUGH

PERSISTENCE AND DRIVING THE POINT OF THOSE PARKING FACILITIES WOULD

NOT BE ADEQUATE FOR 2012 ONCE THE MERGER WAS INITIATED. THE DIVERSION

OF 300 EMPLOYEE VEHICLES INITIALLY BY USE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

OPTIONS WITH DART/TRE WAS A GOOD SHORT TERM OPTION FOR NEEDED PARKING

EXPANSION.

> Working with San Antonio Airport Authority on regulation concerning

their permit to discharge. The airport was changing the

interpretation to the state rule and based on their interpretation of

the law this issue would have increased operating expenses for all the

airline carriers. I contacted all carriers and they agreed with my

approach to getting the airport to correct this before signing the new

contract. The change would have increased operating cost at the

airport by 20-30%

> The modernization of the waste water treatment facility which

increased the efficiency of the treatment process.

> Created a paper recycling program for the plant using a local

nonprofit at no cost to the facility reducing waste from the plant by

25-30%.

> Successfully closing a contamination issue on company property. I was

required by state law to report any contamination onsite to the agency

when found. I was responsible for working with the agency after

collecting data and sampling analysis was determined and background

established on what actions would be the best for this property.

Working with the Legal Department the decision to D-list the property

since it would always be used as an industrial location was determined

to be appropriate. The state agency agreed with the decision and

approved the closure procedures and the file was marked closed and

corrected without incurring any fines are reports.

> Developed a very good working relationship with field office staff

through training and being available to them when needed resulting in

them trusting me to give the assistance needed.
