Bright House's Hagan, Discovery's Hawkins Join CTHRA Board

The Cable and Telecommunications Human Resources Association has
appointed Pamela Hagan and Eric Hawkins to its board of directors.
Hagan,
corporate vice president of human resources for Bright House Networks,
replaces Linda Chambers, who has retired as that MSO's vice
president of corporate human resources. Hawkins, senior vice president
of human resources for Discovery Communications, succeeds Ted Stewart, who has
retired from his position as senior vice president of total
rewards/human resources at the programmer.
Hagan has more
than 20 years of HR experience. She is a member of Women in Cable &
Telecommunications, the Society of Human Resources Management, the
Advisory Board of the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce Women's Series,

for transitioning businesses requiring large-scale reorganization and
resource reallocation.

that Pamela and Eric will bring to CTHRA's leadership," said CTHRA executive director Pamela Williams.At the same
