Good afternoon –

I am beyond thrilled to announce the recent hires to the Chief Financial Office team. Just this week Ali Webb started in our office as a Policy and Budget Analyst.  Ali most recently comes from the Oregon Health Authority budget office where she was a team lead for the health programs budget. Prior to working with the health budget, Ali worked with the University of Washington’s fiscal team and led wealth management and financial management teams. Ali will bring a steady and calm approach to budget in our complex environment. Ali will be focused on working with the Natural Resource agencies.

And a few weeks ago, Breanna McGehee and Haylee Morse-Miller joined our team in the assistant analyst roles.  Breanna comes with degree in psychology and social sciences and strong interest in government process. Haylee has her master’s in public administration and recently worked on the communications team for the SR 520 Bridge Replacement project in Seattle. Bre and Haylee are picking up the assignments that the previous assistant analyst focusing on licensing boards and commissions.

Please join me in welcoming Ali, Haylee and Bre to the team.

Now that the Policy and Budget Analyst (BAM) team is fully staffed, we have reviewed agency assignments and shuffled a bit. This allows for analysts to develop better understandings of the enterprise-wide budget challenges and pressures, making our office more able to address the needs of the state.  If your agency has a new analyst, your current analyst will be in touch to make introductions and ensure a smooth transition.

Thanks much,

Kate
