We welcome Heather DiBlasi, who officially joined our team at BBI on July 1. As Assistant Project Director for the California PADs Fiscal Administration, Heather will handle contract management, financial analysis and reporting, and coordinate communications and deliverables between the various SU departments involved (BBI, OSP, OSA), the county sponsors, the external project director, and subcontractors. I am thrilled to have Heather in this pivotal role to help us steer through the administration of this complex, multi-sponsor project.
The fiscal administration team also includes Peter as PI; Sean Kelly in the Office of Research, who brilliantly handles multi-sponsor expense projections; Jordan, who will continue much-appreciated support with travel booking, claims reimbursement, invoice processing, and more; and myself. We are also well supported by our colleagues in OSP and OSA.
Please extend a warm welcome to Heather.
