Fortis transformation reflected in new top management structures
Fortis will restructure its top management as of 1 January 2008.[1] The Executive Committee will be recomposed and responsibilities redistributed. A Business Executive Committee - which will replace the Fortis Management Committee - will be installed and will operate in closest collaboration with a Group Executive Committee. Taking into account the Fortis managers who have already taken up responsibilities within ABN AMRO, Fortis is convinced it now has the adequate management structure in place, not only to guarantee the successful integration of the acquired businesses, but also to develop Fortis as a whole. 1. The Group Executive Committee will consist of: * Jean-Paul Votron, CEO and Executive Director (Audit reports directly to the CEO); * Herman Verwilst, Deputy CEO and Executive Director (Human Resources, Public and External Affairs, Business Transformation Office report to the Deputy CEO); * Gilbert Mittler, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Finance, Risk and General Counsel; * Filip Dierckx, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Merchant Banking; * Lex Kloosterman, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Private Banking, Asset Management, Investor Relations and Corporate Social Responsibility; * Camille Fohl, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Retail Banking and for Global Branding and Communications; * Peer van Harten, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Insurance and for Real Estate; * Alain Deschênes, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Technology and Information Services, Operations, Facility, Purchasing and Process Improvement.
Homeowners must keep sidewalks clear
When it's sunny and clear, we don't often think about those folks who get around our city by walking. When it snows (and especially when low temperatures occur) we sometimes don't take the time to remember our responsibilities as property owners.
Individuals who are elderly, have physical disabilities or limitations, children walking to school, and you and I, who prefer to walk, can have a very difficult time getting around our city. The city of Greeley does have an ordinance (13.12.020) that requires owners or tenants to keep the sidewalks clear of snow and ice. The sidewalks must be cleared within 24 hours after the end of a snow storm.
With the weather in Colorado being as it is, an owner or tenant may have to clear the snow at times during a storm. If it is not cleared, they could face a fine or pay for the removal of the snow by the city.
