Holly Woodmansee has been named Vice President for Administrative Services at Bates Technical College.
Holly Woodmansee is leaving Shoreline Community College to take a position as Vice President for Administrative Services at Bates Technical College.
Woodmansee, currently Executive Director of Budget, Capital Finance and Physical Plant in the Office of Administrative Services, has been at Shoreline since 2004. She also served as Special Assistant to the President, Budget and Internal Controls; Director, Budget and Purchasing and Interim Director Accounting (Director of Finance) during her time at Shoreline. She previously worked in the Seattle College district, with 25 years at South Seattle and six years at the district office.
Woodmansee will start at Bates on Oct. 27, 2014.
“This was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever made; I love Shoreline,” Woodmansee said.
President Cheryl Roberts said Woodmansee’s experience and knowledge will be missed. “We wish Holly the best. She brings a depth that won’t easily be replaced,” Roberts said. “Although I had the privilege of working with her for only a short time, her dedication and diligence is an inspiration.”
Roberts said that for the short term, assignments will be made within the Office of Administrative Services to cover Woodmansee’s responsibilities. “We’re fortunate that Holly and her new employer are willing to help us through this transition,” Roberts said, adding that work on determining a longer term solution will begin immediately.
At Bates, President Ron Langrell said, “It is a privilege to welcome Holly to Bates Technical College. She is a leader with extensive breadth and knowledge that will help advance the college in the years to come.”
Woodmansee holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Central Washington University and an Associate of Arts degree from South Seattle Community College. She has earned several awards, including the Governor’s Award for Energy Conservation in 1990.
