Since joining the California JPIA in 2002, Avina has supported member services and the executive management team. In her new role as an administrative analyst, she will expand her scope with the Authority, assisting with projects across the organization.

As a crucial member of the Authority’s staff, Avina is one to whom peers often turn when they need help, notes Salas. As an administrative analyst, she can share her valuable knowledge of the Authority’s history and use her insights to manage independent projects.

“Throughout the years, I have been a part of the many projects that have had a major impact on the success of the Authority. We moved from paper to digital files, we upgraded the website, and we established a customer relationship management system, as well as a learning management system, amongst other projects,” said Avina. “I believe my strong customer service skills and my loyalty and commitment to the Authority have been key to the Authority’s success.”

Chief Executive Officer Jon Shull noted Avina’s promotion is a well-deserved next step that will increase the efficiency of internal operations and allow for growth across divisions.

“The Authority has been so lucky to have Edith for 20 years,” said Shull. “I look forward to seeing her grow in her new role.”
