He has accepted a job offer with the EducationPlus company in St. Louis.<br /><br />Board president Denise Fredrick said Chodes has provided valuable guidance and leadership.<br /><br />\"\"He\'ll be a big loss,\"\" she said.<br /><br />Chodes wasn\'t available today because he was out of town at a conference. He is expected back at work Monday for the board\'s first 2014 budget work session.<br /><br />Superintendent Norm Ridder said Chodes submitted his resignation this week. He said Chodes and his wife Debbie has strong family ties to both Springfield and St. Louis and he joked that the pull of the St. Louis Cardinals may have been too much for the avowed baseball fan.<br /><br />Chodes oversees \"\"all financial and business operations\"\" of the 25,000-student district. That includes accounting, budget, investments, payroll, purchasing, risk management, food services, transportation, custodial services, facilities and bond projects.<br /><br />\"\"His departments are doing very well,\"\" Ridder said. \"\"...To stay on top of that is a big challenge.\"\"<br /><br />He is a member of Ridder\'s cabinet, serves as treasurer of the school board and functioned as the point-person when the district went through a state audit a few years ago.<br /><br />\"\"He\'s very well respected,\"\" Ridder said.<br /><br />Fredrick, who joined the board just after the audit was released, said Chodes was responsible for responding to requests from the state audit team, providing documentation and responding to the many findings in the final report.<br /><br />\"\"It was just amazing the amount of work to respond to that,\"\" she said.<br /><br />During Chodes\' tenure, the district won numerous financial awards for clean audits and budget transparency.<br /><br />\"\"He has us in a good place,\"\" she said.<br /><br />Chodes is the second highest paid employee in the district, making $136,200 a year. Only Ridder, who has been in the top job for nine years, makes more.<br /><br />Ridder, who is retiring at the end of the school year, said he notified John Jungmann, the incoming superintendent, of the resignation. Jungmann starts July 1 but will be heavily involved in the hiring, down to writing the job description.<br /><br />\"\"Dr. Jungmann is expected to be front and center in all of this.\"\" Ridder said.<br /><br />However, because the resignation happened late in the school year, Ridder said there\'s a chance that Jungmann may turn to an interim CFO until Chodes\' replacement can be found.<br /><br />Eleven years ago, the district hired Chodes as a controller. He worked as the director of finance, under other CFOs, and took the top financial job six years ago.<br /><br />Chodes was part of a small group of employees, including the late human resources director Danny Fuller, who worked for a propane company in Lebanon before moving to Springfield.<br /><br />In early 2011, the board took the unusual step of issuing Chodes a separate employment contract, similar to the one for Ridder. It establishes a personalized salary schedule and spelled out compensation and responsibilities.<br /><br />At the time, the board said it was a way to maintain a long-term relationship with the CFO, which officials said was in high demand elsewhere.<br />','','','\r\n	Springfield, MO-based Springfield Public Schools has announced the Resignation of Steve Chodes as Chief Financial Officer\r\n',2,4,'http://www.news-leader.com/story/news/education/2014/04/17/school-district-cfo-steve-chodes-resigns/7823407/','','mirania',4,'Steve-Chodes-Springfield-Public-Schools-Chief-Financial-Officer-Resigned',0,'2014-06-16',0),(12367,18180,21595,'Controller ','Timothy Parry was Appointed as Controller at XcelHR','2014-04-17','2014-04-17','XcelHR Welcomes New Corporate Controller<br /> Thursday, April 17th 2014<br /><br />Timothy Parry joins XcelHR team to oversee Corporate Accounting Operations and Financial Management.<br /><br />Rockville, MD (PRWEB) April 17, 2014<br /><br />XcelHR is proud to welcome Timothy Parry as the new Controller at its corporate headquarters in Rockville, MD.<br /><br />Parry has an extensive background in Accounting and Financial Management.

In a recent interview with Euromoney, Cassidy talked about GEs treasury operations, how she manages the company&#146;s banking relationships, and how the financial crisis dramatically changed the role of the treasurer. &#147;Some of the biggest changes for our team since the crisis are understanding the new rules as well as putting a lot more governance and controls over how we manage liquidity, how we manage our funding and ultimately how we operate with more intensity,&#148; she said. Before leading the treasury operation, Cassidy was managing director, GE Capital Real Estate, responsible for the strategic ventures business and its Mexican operations. She has also led GE Real Estate&#146;s capital markets business, where she was responsible for building the commercial mortgage-backed securities and institutional capital business for small and large loans. In 1987, Cassidy pioneered GE&#146;s early securitization efforts in asset-backed consumer and commercial products.<br /><br />GE said Cassidy will continue to manage the treasury aspects related to the estimated $20 billion IPO of its North American retail finance business Synchrony Financial, which is slated for this summer.

One is just backups on emails, having a backup in place,\" Shinn told the board during a special workshop Monday on the bond and district debt.<br /><br />A server crash wiped out a lot of emails auditors said they needed to help determine who authorized spending bond money. Another hindrance is turnover because key employees who should have answers no longer work for the district.<br /><br />The district retrieved 57 megabytes of the missing emails from district archives and are analyzing them. Auditors are also analyzing records from the bond counsel and bond trustee to piece everything together.<br /><br />Shinn, working with Oscher Consulting in Tampa, said he expects to have more answers for the board in two to three weeks.<br /><br />Representatives from Shinn and Oscher are now working with the board\'s legal counsel. Don Hall, deputy superintendent of operations, said it\'s normal to pull legal help into a project such as this, which he said would be fair to call an \"investigation.\"<br /><br />In 2009, three projects were approved through bond funding: a Palmetto High School addition, work at Rogers Garden Elementary School and modernizing the transportation and maintenance facility at the Matzke complex.<br /><br />About $45.2 million was available for the three projects, according to the re<br /><br />port.<br /><br />Receipts for those projects added up to $38.8 million, leaving $6.4 million unspent, according to the internal audit draft issued in May.<br /><br />Oscher reported money also went to projects at the Manatee Technical Institute campus on Caruso Road and to Myakka Elementary School. It also went to pay district debt while Tim McGonegal was district superintendent.<br /><br />Board members expressed concern about having proper protocols in place to prevent this type of situation in the future. Shinn said he\'d be able to share best practices and lessons learned once the investigation is complete.<br /><br />\"Every question that we try to answer has led to a couple more questions and then a couple more questions,\" Shinn said.<br /><br />In addition to reviewing the bond, the board also looked at outstanding district debt, which accounts for about 47 percent of the money in the district fund for capital projects.<br /><br />The district\'s total outstanding debt for 2014-15 is $36 million. The district expects to receive about $76 million for capital projects for the 2014-15 school year, according to numbers presented Monday.<br /><br />\"We have a lot of debt in that fund,\" Hall said.<br /><br />Hall was joined by Conley Weiss, most recently the chief financial officer for the St. Johns County School District. Weiss will serve as interim CFO until the Manatee County School District can replace CFO Michael Boyer, who left the district Friday.<br /><br />The high debt ratio coupled with a lack of savings make the district a poor loan candidate in the future.<br /><br />\"That has ultimately lowered our bond rating,\" Hall said.','','','\r\n	Bradenton, Fl- based Manatee County School District has announced appointment of Conley Weiss as Interim Chief Financial Officer.\r\n',2,1,'http://www.bradenton.com/2014/06/24/5222115/outdated-manatee-schools-email.html','','mirania',4,'Conley-Weiss-Manatee-County-School-District-Interim-Chief-Financial-Officer-Appointed',0,'2014-07-04',0),(12458,18261,547,'Chief Financial Officer','Carolyn Spatafora has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer at Town Sports International Holdings, Inc.','2014-05-12','2014-04-25','NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Town Sports International Holdings, Inc.

He will replace Meredith Weenick, who has served in the position of CFO for the City of Boston since 2011.<br /><br />\"I\'m pleased to welcome David Sweeney as Boston\'s new Chief Financial Officer,\" said Mayor Walsh. \"I\'m confident he will continue the City\'s longstanding practices of fiscal prudence to ensure that Boston\'s overall financial health remains strong. I\'m also grateful for Meredith Weenick\'s service to the City of Boston, particularly during the transition period, and for her leadership in our first budget of the Walsh Administration.\"<br /><br />As CFO, Sweeney will serve as Cabinet Chief of Finance and Budget with oversight of the Assessing, Auditing, Budget, Purchasing, Treasury, and Registry Departments. His responsibilities will include: debt and investment management, financial reporting, budget development and oversight, tax administration, risk management, city-wide performance management, and the administration of enterprise-wide financial systems. The Collector-Treasurer is the custodian of over 300 City trust funds and is an ex-officio member of the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority Board.<br /><br />\"I\'m honored to join Mayor Walsh\'s team in this role,\" said Sweeney. \"Our shared vision for the City\'s fiscal welfare will mean great things for Boston\'s long-term growth and stability.\"<br /><br />Since 2011, Sweeney has served as the Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Executive Director of the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission. During this time the organization experienced its two most successful years, generating $4.85 billion in sales in 2013 and returning $984 million in profit in 2012. In his position, Sweeney oversaw all accounting, procurement, budget, charitable gaming, auditing, asset management, licensing, and collections functions of the Lottery. He led efforts to reform purchasing, institute a capital program, increase staff accountability, and enhance transparency at the agency.<br /><br />Beginning in 2005, Sweeney worked for the House Committee on Ways and Means, serving as a Budget Analyst, focused on public safety issues. Within two years, he was elevated to Budget Director, where he was responsible for assembling the $30 billion annual state budget. In this role, and later as Chief Fiscal Policy Advisor to the Speaker of the House, Sweeney developed legislation dealing with municipal health insurance reform and economic development initiatives, among other issues.','','','\r\n	Boston, MA- based City of Boston has announced resignation of Meredith Weenick as Chief Financial Officer.\r\n',2,4,'http://insurancenewsnet.com/oarticle/2014/04/26/mayor-walsh-announces-selection-of-bostons-new-chief-financial-officer-a-495105.html#.U7ZUfUCEyhp','','mirania',4,'Meredith-Weenick-City-of-Boston-Chief-Financial-Officer-Resigned',0,'2014-07-05',0),(12476,18279,16483,'Chief Financial Officer','Mary Brennan has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer at Lime Energy.','2014-05-16','2014-04-25','Lime Energy has hired Mary Colleeen Brennan of LW Dogwood Marketing to be its chief financial officer.

But the controller holds the wallet for the state of Idaho. If the office doesn\'t run like clockwork, it could mean 25,000 people who work for the state don\'t get paychecks. It could mess up the flow of $8 billion of state transactions each year.<br /><br />Just two people are competing for the seat this year. Barring a write-in winner, voters in the Republican primary - not voters in November\'s general election - will decide who will be Idaho\'s chief fiscal officer for a four-year term.<br /><br />Incumbent Brandon Woolf was appointed in July 2012 by Gov. Butch Otter to succeed Donna Jones, who retired.<br /><br />But he has spent most of his adult life working in the office, starting with an internship after college in the mid-1990s.<br /><br />His challenger is businessman Todd Hatfield, who says the controller\'s vote on the Idaho Land Board is a major reason he is running for the office. Hatfield, who owns a log cabin business and a grain and flour mill, went before the board in 2009 to request a hardship forgiveness of $203,000 he still owed on a 2006 timber sale. It was the first such request the board had received, and the board granted him $70,619.<br /><br />\"That\'s what got me interested\" in running for the job, Hatfield said in an interview.<br /><br />Hatfield also said he wants more transparency in state spending. He ran in 2010 against Jones and received 44 percent of the primary vote.<br /><br />STATE SPENDING<br /><br />The current payroll and accounting system has been in use for longer than Woolf has worked there. It uses a mainframe computer built in the 1980s and repaired and augmented since then. Woolf says it\'s obsolete. He says it\'s time to get the system - which other state agencies use, too - into this century.<br /><br />The Legislature granted Woolf\'s office $250,000 this year to study the most efficient way to replace the system, which would be the largest IT project ever for the office and potentially the largest in the state, he said.<br /><br />The controller doesn\'t have much say in what the state spends money on, but Woolf says he has demonstrated fiscal responsibility in his own office by not using $2 million of his agency\'s spending authority.<br /><br />For example, he tapped the office\'s 90 employees and savings from cutbacks on travel to create a transparency website.<br /><br />Transparent.idaho.gov shows salaries for state employees, agency spending by category and other public information Woolf said Idahoans often ask to see. The website took about $28,000 from the office\'s existing budget to build.<br /><br />That\'s not enough, says Hatfield.<br /><br />He cites an April report in which the U.S. Public Interest Research Group gave Idaho one of three \"F\" grades in the country for online budget and spending transparency.<br /><br />The website\'s deficiencies, for the most part, are search-function limits and a lack of information about quasi-public agencies, the group says.<br /><br />Getting to an \"A\" would require the Legislature to provide more than $175,000 a year, Hatfield said. He said the money could be found.<br /><br />\"I want to raise that grade by achieving an easy-to-navigate website for the public to see how and where their hard-earned money is spent,\" he said.<br /><br />THE LAND BOARD<br /><br />The state controller is one of five statewide elected officials on the Land Board, which oversees management of millions of acres of state land. The use of that land provides revenue to public schools - distributions total $31 million this fiscal year - and other institutions. Woolf said Land Board duties take 10 percent to 20 percent of his time.<br /><br />Hatfield has faulted Woolf and the board for buying commercial property as an investment. Hatfield said the government should not directly compete with the private sector. He wrote a resolution in 2010 calling for the practice to stop.<br /><br />\"I would say they are breaching their fiduciary responsibility,\" Hatfield said.<br /><br />The board in February voted to suspend the part of its policy that allows such acquisitions. Woolf told the Statesman that he supports \"a prudent divestiture plan for trust assets\" and does not favor the state owning commercial real estate.<br /><br />Hatfield said his experience in the log cabin industry gives him knowledge to increase timber revenue. He would try to change how the Land Board conducts timber sales, arguing that some timber should be set aside for small-scale buyers.<br /><br />As for his request to be off the hook for part of the 2006 timber sale, Hatfield said it shouldn\'t cast doubt on his ability to manage money.<br /><br />The problem arose, he said, when the economic downturn pummeled the log cabin and timber industries. A handshake deal with a local mill fell apart, he said, and selling timber to mills farther away would have cost too much because of fuel prices.<br /><br />\"Everybody was telling me to file bankruptcy and go that route, and I refused to do it,\" he said.<br /><br />He put the cabin business up for sale - though he didn\'t end up selling it - along with equipment and the property it sat on. The Hatfields sold their home in McCall and now rent a house in Eagle, where his daughter attends school.<br /><br />The controller\'s salary is $101,150 a year and will rise to $102,667 in 2015.','','','\r\n	Boise, ID- based Idaho state has announced appointment of Brandon Woolf as State Controller.\r\n',2,1,'http://www.idahostatesman.com/2014/04/26/3154746/controller-draws-one-opponent.html','','mirania',4,'Brandon-Woolf-State-of-Idaho-State-Controller-Appointed',0,'2014-07-05',0),(12480,18283,3404,'Chief Financial Officer','Richard Mack was Promoted to Chief Financial Officer at The Mosaic Company','2014-06-01','2014-06-01','','','','\r\n	Minneapolis, MN-based The Mosaic Company has promoted Richard Mack to Chief Financial Officer.\r\n',2,2,'','','bikki',5,'Richard-Mack-The-Mosaic-Company-Chief-Financial-Officer-Promoted',0,'2014-07-05',0),(12481,18284,15834,'Chief Financial Officer','William J.

I still remember a number of my professors by name,” he said. “The university is growing. I’ve had an awful lot of experience in helping campuses develop. It seemed to be really a good fit for what the university was looking for.”<br /><br />Brown has worked at Texas A&M – Commerce for the past eight years as its vice president of finance and administration. A&M president Dan Jones said he was sad to see Brown go.<br /><br />“I consider bob brown one of the best CFOs in the state of Texas in terms of higher education,” Jones said. “He has a very deep and broad experience. He’s worked at the community college level and the university level. I’m very sorry to lose him at A&M — Commerce, but UNT is lucky to be picking him up.”<br /><br />UNT president Neal Smatresk said Brown was a match for everything UNT was looking for, particularly being someone with experience in Texas who wouldn’t need time to learn the various rules affecting finance in the state.<br /><br />“It was really important that we had someone who had Texas experience so we could get up and running rapidly,” he said. “He’s very highly qualified.

He can also be credited for much of the beauty of the campus.<br /><br />Preston’s influence can be seen in institutions across Texas as he mentored many finance officers over the last 25 years. He has served at two Texas Baptist universities and is a veteran of the Vietnam War, serving in the U.S. Army as a 1st Lieutenant in a field artillery unit.<br /><br />Preston first came to HSU as a student, earning a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in 1969 and a Master of Business Administration degree in 1972 after his military service. While a student, he served in the ROTC and was on the HSU golf team.<br />With an MBA in hand, Preston started his career at Howard Payne University, Brownwood, Texas, advancing to the university’s administration as vice president for financial affairs.<br /><br />HSU President Dr. Lanny Hall worked as a fellow vice president with Preston at HPU under the administration of Dr. Don Newbury. When Hall was named 13th president of Hardin-Simmons University, he convinced Preston to turn his talents to his alma mater.<br /><br />“I knew he had the tenacity, the temperament and the ability to do this job. I also knew that he had two degrees from HSU and that he loved this institution. When I presented the opportunity to return to The Forty Acres, he answered affirmatively and I knew he would do an excellent job,” said Hall.<br /><br />Hall cites Mr. Preston’s most significant contribution to HSU as his diligent effort to improve the financial condition of HSU. “He has worked hard to focus on efficiency in university operations, with great attention to the bottom line. Under his financial leadership, the debt of the university has been significantly reduced. The university’s debt is at its lowest level in 22 years. Given the growth in programming over this time, that is remarkable,” said Hall.<br /><br />Preston has been a mentor to many university business officers throughout his career, investing much time in helping others tackle the complex job. Over the last 13 years, he has hosted periodic meetings of the chief finance officers, controllers, IT directors, maintenance directors, human resource directors, and financial aid directors for five institutions.<br /><br />Other contributions and involvements beyond HSU include serving as the financial reader for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, a volunteer job he has held since 1991. In 2007, SACS honored him with the James T. Rogers Meritorious Service Award.<br />An avid golfer, Preston has added to the fundraising successes of dozens of golf tournaments over the years, participating in the HSU Cowboy Classic, the Joe Black Golf Classic, and the Lettermen Golf Tournament to benefit HSU athletics.<br /><br />Beyond his victories as a budget-conscience financial officer for HSU, Preston has also served First Baptist Church of Abilene on numerous committees and as a teacher in adult Sunday school classes for more than 20 years.<br /><br />Preston and his wife Susan, a retired nurse practitioner, have two children. Their son Matt and daughter-in-law Shona live in Abilene and have three children.
