My name is William (Billy) Blood and I joined the University of Oregon (UO) as Assistant AD of Budget & Finance in September 2016. Prior to becoming part of the UO family, I was the Associate AD of Internal Affairs & CFO for Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU). The following link provides further information regarding my professional experience (http://www.goducks.com/staff.aspx?staff=628). I am very interested in serving on the Ombuds AAG and University Senate committees. After reviewing each opportunity, I feel my experience would positively impact and contribute towards each committees’ goals. While at FGCU I served on the Staff Advisory Council (SAC), which is similar to the OA Council at UO. I served in the Treasurer and Vice President roles for SAC and was responsible for creating the Professional Development Program that provides funds for colleagues who cannot afford to attend development opportunities (http://www.fgcu.edu/SAC/pdp.html). I also served on University committees appointed by the Provost including the Safety & Facilities Committee, Budget Committee, and the Planning & Budget Council (http://www.fgcu.edu/Provost/pbc.html). Currently I serve on the Community & Inclusion Committee and Sustainability Committee for Athletics and would love the opportunity to serve the campus community through the Ombuds AAG and University Senate. Thank you for your consideration and Go Ducks!
