By: Stephen Crews
Updated: February 27, 2013
Joseph P. Borg, Director of the Alabama Securities Commission (ASC), announced today that the Commission has promoted Kim S. Lewis to Senior Special Agent (SSA) for the Enforcement Division to replace recently retired SSA Michael Foley. In this capacity, Lewis will share leadership and operation responsibilities for this division with Senior Special Agent Ricky Locklar.
Director Borg said, "The scope and responsibility for the operation of this division is most challenging and our nationally recognized aggressive enforcement agenda will benefit greatly with the addition of Kim Lewis, as Senior Special Agent to share management responsibilities. SSA Lewis was most qualified for this position with a proven track record, experience, expertise, and the leadership ability required to help maintain a large investigative caseload. I am proud of our Enforcement Division; we have top notch securities agents and an excellent support staff. SSA Lewis will complement our Commission's ability to prioritize and accomplish tasks as a team."
