ATMI restructures to cut costs
By Susan M. Andrews -- Furniture Today, January 20, 2002
WASHINGTON — WASHINGTON — The American Textile Manufacturers Institute, like many in the industry for which it lobbies here, is restructuring to cut costs.
ATMI will consolidate, eliminating several high-level staff positions, including the one held by Carlos Moore, executive vice president, who has served the organization for more than 20 years.
"Bankruptcies, consolidations and plant closings due to unfairly priced Asian imports and the recent economic slowdown have taken a toll on us all," said ATMI President Chuck Hayes, chairman of Guilford Mills.
Hayes said that as ATMI leaders tried to find ways to cut expenses and maintain services, "Carlos Moore proposed that he move to half-time status next fiscal year and focus on trade policy and cotton issues. He suggested we name a successor as soon as possible. I want personally to salute Carlos for his 21 years of leadership and accomplishments at ATMI. He has worked tirelessly for us, and I am pleased he will still be available to us in our transition."
Other positions affected include those of deputy executive vice president and director of government relations, currently held by Doug Bulcao; director of membership and administrative services, held by Ron Floor; chief economist, held by David Link; and assistant director of government relations, held by Julie Fleming.
"All four of these individuals have served ATMI with great distinction and dedication and are true professionals. We wish them well," Hayes said.
He added the changes "in no way diminish our continued commitment to lobby our industry's issues in Washington.... In addition, we will be embarking on a high-priority campaign to add members to ATMI."
