Its arrival during lunch period reportedly caused as much excitement-as_a-real splashdown with hundreds of youngsters watching a large Nevada Irrigation District forklift carefully carry the capsule to the ground.

B of A starts regional system In a top level Bank of America appointment with local ramifications, Harold M. Schuppert has ‘een named to head the bank's new regional headquarters in Sacramento, The announcement was made today by President Rudolph A, Peterson, who described the appointment as "part of a major
organizational change expected to result in better, faster banking service to our California customers," Schuppert, a vice president since 1959, will be in complete charge of the Sacramento-North Mountain region which includes B of A branches in Nevada county. The bank currently operates 96 branches in this area, The organizational change in which Schuppert is a key figure calls for a transfer of overall control of the bank's 949 branches from San Francisco and Los Angeles head offices to 12 regional headquarters located in major metropolitan areas throughout California. Although responsibility for certain branch administrative functions at Bank of America has been decentralized since 1964, the new plan entails a more Significant shift in authority. "In addition to expanding those administrative responsibilities already handled on a decentralized basis, a substantial portion of the senior credit authority and staff traditionally centered -in the bank's head offices will be placed at the regional echelon,"' Peterson said. The changeover is expected to be completed by mid-1970, Peterson termed the new setup "a dramatic change designed to capitalize on the talents of our field management and toemPhasize an individual, imaginative approach to the bank's continued progress," He cited the growing size and complexity of California's economy as the principal reason for increase specialization along regional lines. "There are at least 12 district geographic markets in this state,"" he noted. "In order to keep pace with the expanding and varied banking needs of each, we need on-the-spot decision makers who can respond quickly, and with authority, to distinctly local conditions." THE BEST MOVE OU EVER MADE . 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE Phone 273-2206 The net effect of the regional plan, he observed, is almost equivalent to creating 12 Bank of America branch systems all coordinatéd from an overall policy standpoint but each having extensive operating autonomy. "For the customer," Peterson said, "this will mean faster, more responsive service. For the bank it means better information from the field, better decisions, and greater operating efficiency," As regional vice. presi Schuppert shoulders haporeent responsibilities for planning and for formulation of bank policy. He will continue to direct the staff responsible for overall administration of the Bank of America branches in his region, simplicity.. . &.
