McLaughlin's Retirement

MEMORANDUM

TO: Alamo Colleges Family
FROM: Dr. Bruce Leslie, Chancellor
DATE: September 28, 2009
RE: Jim McLaughlin’s Retirement

It is with very mixed emotions that I share with you the good news that Jim McLaughlin, Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration, has recently become engaged to be married and will retire effective December 31st in order to move back to New Mexico.

Jim will be sorely missed as he has brought a high level of professionalism to his work and dramatically improved the fiscal and administrative operations of the Alamo Colleges. His knowledge and skills have added immeasurably to the efforts of the entire system in modernizing and streamlining our operations and supporting the colleges and district operations as we have implemented new strategies to improve systems and tackle the many complexities of our district. Jim has established a high bar of integrity and at the same time, leaves having established a new foundation for service to both employees and students and a solid base for continued improvements.

I hope you will join me in congratulating Jim on his engagement and wish him the very best in his retirement.
