Judy Henry, a 28-year UPS veteran, today assumed command as president of the company's new and expanded Central Plains District, directing small package operations in an area that covers all or parts of seven states.
The Central Plains District is one of 20 new Districts dividing the United States activated earlier this year. It includes all of Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and portions of Illinois, Nebraska and Texas and features a package-delivery operation with some 14,000 employees.
Henry most recently served as the manager of UPS's Kentucky District. She began her UPS career in 1982 as a delivery driver in Lexington, Ky. and after being promoted into management, moved through a series of jobs of increasing responsibility before being named manager of the Empire State District in New York in 2005.
UPS announced in January it was going to streamline its domestic management structure to improve overall performance by reducing the number of U.S. Districts from 46 to 20. Thanks to today's technology and the management strengths of its people, a District 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.
