Key players in project accounting receive awards At a second-floor reception Tuesday afternoon, Director Mike Witherell presented Employee Performance Recognition Awards to Brad Trygar, Deborah Griffin, Wei Gao, Cheryl McKenna, and Robert Willford for their key roles in the biggest accounting makeover lab history. "The project touched everybody at the lab. Everybody knew what a budget code was," Associate Director for Administration, Bruce Chrisman, told a crowd of 50 people, describing the impact of the project on the lab. Since April 2003, lab transactions rely on project and task numbers, which allow for better tracking of individual tasks as well as overall budget performance.
Witherell thanked the award recipients and all others involved in the smooth transition to the Oracle Projects software. "The wonderful thing is we got the benefits of project accounting without the time in between where things don't work," he said.
