Message from President Roberts: Announcing Interim Chief Financial Officer

Dear Colleague,

As of March 15th, I have asked William (Bill) Saraceno, MBA, to act as Interim Chief Financial Officer for the College. While primarily working from his home located the Tri-Cities, Bill will be on campus periodically in support of our budget management needs. He will serve in this interim capacity while the College recruits for a permanent Vice President for Business & Administrative Services.

With more than 30 years of experience in community college budget and financial management in the Washington State Board for Community & Technical Colleges (SBCTC) system, Bill most recently worked at Tacoma Community College as Interim Vice President for Administrative Services (see resume).

Now that Bill is serving as the Interim Chief Financial Officer, former Senior Executive Director & CFO Stuart Trippel may need to interact with us to provide specific information related to work in the Office of Business & Administrative Services or information related to our ongoing capital projects.

During this period, you may also want to refer to my previous message in Day at a Glance (DAAG), which has been updated. This message refers to the temporary reporting structure for the Office of Business & Administrative Services.

Please join me in welcoming Bill to Shoreline.

Respectfully,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
