Hi all,
Please see e-mail below from Jeff Bassford regarding changes in the Business Center.
As you can see, we will have a new business manager: Sarah Stehr that we will share with BSE. Sarah will start on Aug 1st and will slowly transition into her new role with Mindy’s and Lauren’s help. So, for now, please keep
sending requests to Mindy as usual.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I’ll do my best to answer them.
Thanks,
Silvana

Subject: IANR Business Operations reorganization update
In an effort to address persistent gaps in our ability to provide necessary business support services, the IANR business operations team is working through an internal reorganization. As we begin the new fiscal year, we will be migrating
to slightly larger local business center teams to provide more seamless coverage. The new business center/unit alignments are as follows, with affiliation changes in bold and highlighted:
AVE – Carrie Adams, Manager – Current AVE units
+ Entomology, LTAP, Engler, Forensic Science
HAPPI – Teresa Loseke, Manager – Current HAPPI units
+ Beadle Center
NRBC – Kyle Bogus, Manager – Current NRBC units
+ Ag Leadership Education and Communications, Ag Econ, MEP, RPN
NIC – Sarah Stehr, Manager – Current NIC units
+ Biological Systems Engineering, DWFI
ENREEC – Sarah Hansen, Manager
WCREEC/PREEC – Hannah Hokanson, Manager
Additionally, we are creating focused HR and Financial Operations teams. These teams will bring together roles from across all business centers into central support teams. This adjustment is intended to provide more depth, stability, continuity
and consistency of services. The team leaders are shown below:
HR/Payroll Operations Team – Mindy Lang, Manager
Financial Operations Team – Manager TBD
For now, processing and support requests should continue to be directed to your local business center team, who will insure delivery to the appropriate staff within our operation. As we settle into the new structure, some of our processes
and staff locations may change. Updated instructions will be provided accordingly.
Feel free to share this message within your units as you feel is helpful. If you receive questions that I can assist in answering do not hesitate to let me know. Thank you.
