Promotion


It is with great delight that I announce the Promotion of Doug Shebeck to the position of Accounting Manager of Shared Financial Services.  Doug began his career at ABARTA almost 17 years ago with our Internal Audit group.  This experience has provided Doug the opportunity to understand how ABARTA operates and see first hand what makes our organization truly great.  Doug joined our Shared Financial Services team in 2000.  During these past 14 years, Doug has been exposed to all financial functions performed at Shared Financial Services and has always performed at a very high level.  Doug has earned respect inside and outside our organization and has demonstrated through his actions, great professionalism and leadership qualities.  Doug has certainly earned and is very deserving of this promotion.

Please join me in wishing Doug congratulations and the best of luck in his new position.

It is with great pleasure that I announce the Promotion of Robert (BOB) Kobert to the position of Director of Finance Shared Financial Services.  I first met Bob when he was the Controller of Coatesville Coca-Cola.  At the time, ABARTA was only a minority owner, and the Company was operated by the Filaroma Family.  Bob showed the ability to manage the financial function, and also the skill to relate to people of varying personalities in a professional manor.  Since moving to ABARTA, he has grown professionally and personally.  The Company is lucky to have someone of his talents to step into this critical role. Please join me in wishing Bob the best of luck, and help him in any way you can.

Retirement


ANNOUNCEMENT
Tom McManus – 40 Years, Director of Finance

It is with mixed emotions that I announce the retirement of Tom McManus as Director of Finance, Shared Financial Services.   I am pleased for Tom as he is now able to spend the time he wants with his family and will perhaps finally learn to play golf.  On the other hand, he has been a great performer for a very long time and has contributed significantly to ABARTA’s success.  He will be missed.  Tom’s retirement will become effective January 1, 2014.  He will be around through year-end close and has agreed to answer the phone if we have questions. 
Please join me in wishing Tom well as he moved to the next stage of his life.
