SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM PROPOSES
NEW ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE |
 eredith’s
Senior Management Team recently proposed a new administrative
structure.
The senior management team began examining new organizational
models in July 2001 following LaRose Spooner’s retirement
as vice president of marketing, and Mary Johnson’s resignation
as vice president of executive and professional programs.
The proposed structure is similar to the temporary structure
put into place last summer. Meredith will continue to operate
with four divisions — institutional advancement, academic
affairs, student development, and business and finance—with
each division being led by a vice president.
The proposed structure also calls for the addition of three
new positions. An associate vice president will be added |
|
in
both the student development and the business and finance divisions,
and a position will be added in Meredith’s academic affairs
division to coordinate the college’s Executive and Professional
Program efforts.
The senior management team’s proposal was distributed to
administrators at the beginning of November, and it was also
announced during the November 2 faculty meeting.
Meredith faculty/staff members have the opportunity to give
their input on the proposed structure through the end of the
current semester. Meredith’s permanent administrative structure
will take effect at the beginning of the spring 2002 semester.
The searches to fill any new positions are also expected to
begin early next semester. |
