Avista Announces Executive Changes

Malyn Malquist, senior vice president of Avista Corp. in Spokane, Washington, has assumed responsibility for the treasury function of the company in addition to his role as chief financial officer. Vice President and Treasurer David Brukardt has left Avista, after helping to assure a smooth transition. The move combines the role of CFO and treasurer and eliminates one executive officer position.

“Dave has been an extremely valuable member of our company during financially challenging times,” said Gary Ely, Avista’s board chairman, president, and chief executive officer. “His contributions to our success have been substantial.”
