UAH Faculty and Staff,
A few weeks ago, I mentioned that we would share more information about our Division of Finance and Administration.
We will separate our financial and administration operations into two new divisions. Previously, the combined Finance and Administration Division had one vice president with more than 200 employees. We have reviewed various options and believe this new approach will provide our leaders the ability to focus on their specialized areas of expertise and deliver premier service to our students, faculty and staff.
The Finance Division will now consist of Finance & Business Services as well as Budgets & Financial Planning. Brad Cooper will be our interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO) during this time. Brad will continue to lead the Finance & Business Services unit while Alicia Callis will be the interim Budget Director.
The Administration Division will now contain Human Resources, along with Payroll, Police, Facilities & Operations, Risk & Compliance, and Information Technology. The unit leaders will be named Chief of their respective areas: Laurel Long, Chief Human Resources Officer; Brian Cozby, Chief of Police; Christian Reed, Chief of Facilities & Operations; Kevin Bennett, Chief of Risk & Compliance; and Dr. Mike Turner, interim Chief Information Officer. As of right now, they will all report to me. We will name a Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), who will lead this division, at a later time.
Both the interim CFO and the eventual CAO will report to me. We will conduct a search for these key positions soon.
I want to thank you for your support while we have navigated our leadership’s organizational structure.
