Martin selected as new director of Procurement
ohn O. Martin has been appointed director of
Procurement by interim Vice Chancellor for Administration and Budget
Joyce Hatch. Martin succeeds Charles Gibson, who retired June 15.
Martin
served as director of Contract Administration in the Procurement
Department for the past two and a half years. Prior to joining Procurement,
he worked for Kaiser Permanente for 14 years, starting as director
of purchasing and rising to the post of administrator of the health
maintenance organization's Northampton health center.

Favoring
a strong emphasis on working with Procurement's clients on campus,
Martin said he wants his department "to try to help the process
rather than hinder it."
"He
is knowledgeable in the areas of University and state procurement
policies and has a strong customer service focus," said Hatch.
