	J Mays promoted to Group Vice President of Design for Ford Motor Company
		July 22, 2003 - J Mays, Vice President of Design at Ford Motor Company since he was appointed to that position on October 1, 1997, has been named Vice President Design, effective August 1, 2003.
		Mays’ promotion was made known at the same time as Ford appointed a new Group Vice President responsible for finance, but this was only a replacement, whereas Mays’ position is new and this promotion makes the number of Group Vice Presidents swell to eight.
		One cannot help wondering wheather this emphasis on Mays’ design role, and the timing of the promotion, is totally unconnected with the soon-to-come General Motors announcement about their next head of design.
