<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">After a thorough and multi-step competitive interview process, it gives me great pleasure to announce that Kina Barton has been offered and has accepted the position of Coordinator,
Finance and Administration in Business Services.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">As mentioned in my earlier communication, this position was reformulated based on a clean slate, and an analysis of the duties and responsibilities, both now and in the future.
I’d like to publicly thank the search committee for their efficient and organized review of candidates. Thank you to Madge Mock, Chair of the Committee, Belinda Oden, Darren Shevchuk, and Amanda Mancini, the Director of Finance at the Eller College of Management.
They provided a model for how an effective search should be ran.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">As I instructed the search committee, they were looking for someone who could not only perform the tasks today, but also be able to perform the next level of responsibilities.
This ensures we are getting not only talent but also growth and soft skills. I am deeply appreciative of the strength of the pool of applicants.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">The two finalists that the committee presented to me truly met my mandate and are both outstanding. My decision came down to which of the finalists can most quickly have a positive
impact on the unit and College. From my own set of interviews, deliberations with committee members, and reference reviews, Kina was the clear choice due to her prior experience and relationships in CALS. She has a vision for how Operations can support units
and improve the competitive advantage for CALS, and has demonstrated her ability to grow, adapt, manage, and work through ambiguous and challenging situations in her time with CALS.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">Kina has been with the UA since 2000 and has worked in UA Procurement and Contracting Services and the College of Optical Sciences prior to coming to CALS in 2013. It truly is
a small world because I first met Kina as a UAccess Financials Superuser in 2011 where she left a strong impression on me, never realizing I would be working with her again in this capacity.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">Kina assumes her new role on May 9 and will be cross training on several tasks with Rhonda Hatzelis. Please help me congratulate Kina. She intends to reach out to you all over
the coming weeks and months to solicit your thoughts and cement her service-oriented vision for Business Service Operations.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
