In a general STRI e-mail dated January 18, STRI director Eldredge Bermingham addressed the community to announce changes at the Director´s Office. These changes are the result of numerous assessments and consultations both with external sources as well as the scientific staff and members of the administration.
With the appointment of deputy director Ron Herzig, who has brought great experience in the management of scientific and medical private institutions, STRI is expected to enter a new era of improvement in all operations. To that end, Herzig will be working directly with Georgina de Alba for a year. During this time, she will be helping him to gain familiarity with STRI operations and to help execute the administrative changes to come.
De Alba has announced her retirement by January 2011 in order to dedicate more fully to her growing family. Her decision, as well as the improvements envisioned for our organizational structure, has caused consideration to be given to the need to create a new position to maintain and strengthen the critical link between science and administration. We are already announcing the position of Associate Director of Scientific Administration. This person will work closely with the Director, deputy director Ron Herzig, Academic dean Owen McMillan, and their teams.
De Alba will also lead a team of STRI employees in shaping the events and opportunities associated with STRI's centennial celebrations. Her enormous dedication to STRI and 34 years of experience will be especially useful during the upcoming transition and centennial celebrations.
