The Bonneville Power Administration has named Lizá Rosa as its HR service center director. Rosa, currently HR director for the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Norco, California, is returning to BPA after having previously worked in HR to develop BPA’s staffing and recruitment hiring model. Rosa will assume this position in May.

At the helm of BPA’s HR service center, Rosa will report to BPA’s Chief Workforce and Strategy Officer and receive functional direction and oversight from the Department of Energy’s Deputy Chief Human Capital Officer in the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer. The BPA HR director is responsible for all workforce strategy and execution. Rosa will provide HR expertise and insight and is responsible for aligning the agency’s human resources policies, practices and programs with organization mission, strategic goals and performance outcomes.

“I am very excited to welcome Lizá back to the Department and BPA,” said Erin Moore, DOE’s Chief Human Capital Officer. “I am confident her previous experience with us coupled with the additional expertise she’s gained at Navy, she will be a true asset to both HC and BPA leadership teams.”

Rosa’s recent experience includes leading a military and civilian human resources program that serves more than 1,900 federal employees. Prior to that, she served as the first HR director for the Power Marketing Administration Human Resources Shared Service Center. The Shared Service Center provides the full range of human capital management operational functions to support federal employees aligned to the three other power marketing administrations.

“I am excited to return to BPA and to work with the Department of Energy after being gone for the last four years,” said Rosa. “I am returning with the hope that my perspective and accumulated knowledge will enhance and complement the agency.”

“I welcome Lizá and expect she will apply her expertise to facilitate the development and implementation of programs, and will soon become a valued member of our leadership team,” said Administrator and CEO John Hairston.

“I’m excited to begin working with Lizá to ensure BPA has a skilled, high-performing and diverse workforce capable of meeting the challenges ahead of us,” said Chief Workforce and Strategy Officer Dan James.

Rosa grew up in Panama City, Republic of Panama, and her parents still live there on the Pedro Miguel Locks. She has a bachelor's in business management from Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and a master's in management from the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California. Rosa has received several awards, including the Navy Meritorious Civilian Service Award. Her professional affiliations include the Society of Human Resource Management and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. Rosa loves spending her free time with her son, Tony, and with family and friends.
