Sharon took the reigns of the Oregon State Payroll System some 13 years ago coming to us from a well known Midwest college. Her leadership and the leadership she has cultivated with her staff have moved OSPS forward in many ways over the years. Her commitment to the State of Oregon as well as the wonderful person she is will be missed greatly. She has managed the Oregon State Payroll System with a high degree of management attention, integrity, and with a strong leadership hand in customer service. She and her staff have helped build a high degree of confidence and trust in serving the payroll needs of all involved. This provided an opportunity for new leadership for OSPS and our own Sandy Ridderbusch, SFMS Systems Management Manager has accepted this terrific opportunity. Sandy will be taking on the role of Manager of OSPS. She will slowly transition by participating in projects that will span Sharon's departure date. It is expected that Sandy will no longer function in the SFMS Systems Management Manager role sometime during the spring of 2011. Sandy and Sharon have worked together for years and this will allow for a smooth transition ensuring that system and service planning, on-going projects and work processes will continue uninterrupted. From an agency and employee perspective the entire leadership change process should be a non-event. You will be able to count on OSPS services without any interruption or noticeable difference. The challenge will be finding someone to fill the Systems Management Manager position. We plan to recruit for this position about a month prior to Sandy's departure from SFMS. John J. Radford State Controller 155 Cottage Street NE, U-50 Salem, OR 97301-3969 503-378-3156 X226 Thank you for entrusting us to deliver low cost payroll, accounting, and financial reporting services.
