DSRSD Hires Carol Atwood as Administrative Services Manager

From Dublin San Ramon Services District:

DUBLIN, CA – Last night the Dublin San Ramon Services District Board of Directors unanimously approved Carol Atwood as its new administrative services manager. Atwood assumes her position on September 26, 2016.

With success in both the public and private sectors, Atwood brings 32 years of municipal financial experience and three years working for KPMG (Oakland, CA) in its government audit section. A certified public accountant, she has experience preparing and balancing an $89 million municipal budget, managing the successful conversion of accounting and payroll systems, and negotiating employee contracts with four bargaining units.

Most recently, Atwood served 19 years with the City of Cupertino, heading up its finance, human resources, and information technology divisions and the city clerk’s office. As DSRSD’s administrative services manager, Atwood will oversee 24.5 positions in four similar divisions: accounting, customer services, information services, and human resources.

“I’m very impressed with Carol’s financial management experience in both the private and public sectors,” says General Manager Daniel McIntyre. “She’s been doing the job of an administrative services manager for 19 years. I feel very fortunate to have her join our team.”

Atwood is replacing John Archer, who will retire later this fiscal year. During the transition, Archer is serving as assistant general manager, a temporary position that will not be refilled upon his retirement.
