February is the customary month for Honda of America Manufacturing Inc. to announce personnel changes at management levels and this year’s moves are part of plan to make HAM a regional leader for manufacturing and related technologies.
Caroline Ramsey, who is the unit manager for communications and government relations, said in an email the changes take effect April 1. She provided the automaker’s responses to a series questions from the Examiner about the personnel changes and production plans for local auto plants.
