* Deborah Wilhite, a former Democratic National Committee official, was promoted from vice president of government relations to senior vice president in charge of government relations. She also was named to the management committee.
* Jack Potter was promoted from vice president for labor relations to senior vice president, in what mailers think is a reflection of Henderson's emphasis on labor relations. He also was named to the management committee.
