Glenn Rice Named President of UPS East Region

New York, June 28, 2010

Glenn Rice, a 33-year UPS veteran, has assumed command as president of the company's new and expanded East Region, directing small package operations in an area that covers all or parts of seventeen states and the District of Columbia.

The East Region is one of three new Regions dividing the United States activated earlier this year. It includes approximately the eastern third of the United States and features a package-delivery operation with some 105,000 employees.

Rice most recently served as president of UPS's Northeast Region. He began his UPS career in 1977 as a delivery driver in the North Ohio District and after being promoted into management, moved through a series of jobs of increasing responsibility before being named manager of the Alabama District in 1998.

UPS announced in January it was going to streamline its domestic management structure to improve overall performance by reducing the number of U.S. Regions from five to three and Districts from 46 to 20. Thanks to today's technology and the management strengths of its people, a Region office now can oversee a much larger geographic area than in years' past.

As part of the realignment, UPS also is expanding its outreach to customers by strengthening local sales and marketing efforts. No package handling facilities have been affected by the consolidation of management offices, nor have any UPS drivers or package handlers.
