Personnel Day: Appointments of the Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Architecture and Construction of the Regional Executive Committee, the First Deputy Chairman of the Braslav District Executive Committee, and the General Director of Orsha KHP have been agreed upon.

Strong managers are the resource base and support of the region. That is why the Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, Nikolai Sherstnev, is so meticulous in selecting candidates for leadership positions. After all, not only professionalism and a хозяйский (owner-like) approach to business are valued. But also the ability to set economic priorities.

A new page in the work biography of the military commissar of Vitebsk, Vitebsk and Liozno districts, Alexander Nefedov, will begin with an in-depth economic analysis of the efficiency of the region's transport complex. He has been approved for the position of Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Architecture and Construction of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee. His military past will be very useful: executive discipline and responsibility are paramount. Despite the fact that the field of activity is new for the manager, he has already familiarized himself with the upcoming work. In response to the head of the region's question about his vision for the development of the entrusted area, the manager immediately focuses on improving the quality of transport services, in particular, by studying passenger traffic in detail and responding more promptly to its intensity: during peak hours, dispatching rolling stock of greater capacity, and during periods of low activity, smaller capacity. Alexander Nefedov plans to focus on the development of public electric transport. In this, he sees not only ways to bring the industry to stable operation with positive dynamics but also a significant reduction in environmental risks, especially in large cities of the region. Among the priority tasks outlined by Nikolai Sherstnev are cost reduction and the formation of additional profitable areas. It is important to learn to earn money, emphasizes the head of the region, citing private structures as an example, which always evaluate their actions from the perspective of maximum benefit. It is important for supervised enterprises to embody this role, as any project must be calculated as commercial in order to ensure a guaranteed profit, which, for example, can be invested in the renewal of the transport fleet. If everything is done with quality, then the industry organizations of the region will take off.

With a new management portfolio, Artur Sysa, the former director of the Yu. Smirnov Agricultural Branch, is focused on systemic work. As the head of the Orsha Grain Processing Plant, he sees effective progress in the economic sphere: utilizing production capacities for livestock development, improving the quality of concentrated feed for livestock. Among the items on the "roadmap" are the modernization of the grain drying complex, the construction of new and reconstruction of old farms belonging to the plant's branches. The agro-manager plans to make a significant leap forward by increasing the export volumes of manufactured products.

Every patch of land must also contribute to the economy. This is the directive given to Vladimir Yarokhovich, appointed First Deputy Chairman – Head of the Department for Agriculture and Food of the Braslav District Executive Committee, Stanislav Lisichenok, Head of the agricultural enterprise "Velikodoletskoye," and Oleg Stankevich, invited for an interview for the appointment as Director of the "Radunskoye" farm, as well as agro-managers Vasily Gubanov of the Verkhnedvinsk Butter and Cheese Plant, Nikolai Kakushkin of the experimental base "Tullovo," and Oleg Makarevich of "Mayak Vysokoye", who have undergone the procedure for extending their contracts. In anticipation of the upcoming sowing campaign, they are being urged to ensure that the land yields from every hectare, brings real income, and that crops are plowed, fertilized, protected from diseases and pests, and harvested on time. Full utilization of this reserve will enhance the economic status of the farms. The livestock sector is no exception. If the livestock have decent living conditions, the premises are dry and clean, and the feed is balanced – all this allows for increased milk yields. This formula leads to good income and, consequently, a decent salary. One must not stand still, urges the Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee, as it is equivalent to a step backward. The agricultural enterprise "Mayak Vysokoye," headed by Oleg Makarevich, is cited as an example. Stability and order have been established here thanks to the competent organization of production.

processes, a strong team of specialists. Their activities are supported by continuous acceleration of agricultural production. In particular, the average daily weight gain of cattle reaches 786 grams, and the productivity of the dairy herd is 7 thousand kilograms of milk.

The tasks for the directorate are outlined, and all powers for their implementation are in place. After a year, which is the term for which contracts will be signed with the managers, the head of the region will conduct a control assessment for each of them in the "before - after" projection. And to obtain the highest score, such a contrast must be clearly evolutionary.
