Director, IT Strategic Policy

I take a leadership role in leading initiatives and shaping IT policy direction and the campuswide agenda for these policies, in close coordination with the CIO, IT governance groups and campus and University technology and policy units. Policy areas include those relating to information practices and data governance, electronic information privacy, openness, security, data management, electronic communications, intellectual property, digital rights management and, in conjunction with Records Management, electronic records retention and disposition. I also track new and emerging policy and laws, technology trends, industry directions and institutional issues relating to information technology, telecommunications and electronic media, that affect or influence campus policies, practices or procedures relating to electronic information.

As a member of the management team of the Associate Vice Chancellor, Information Technology and Chief Information Officer, I participate in institutional planning and strategy for campus IT. I am a founding member and chair of the Data Council; an ex officio member of the Advisory Board on Privacy and Data Protection and the Common Systems Group; a founding member of the UC IT Policy and Security Officers group; and a resource to the IT Planning Board.

I am a member of the EDUCAUSE Network Policy Council, on the Advisory Committee of the EDUCAUSE/Cornell Institute for Computer Policy and Law, the Advisory Committee of the Digital Citizen Project and one of two representatives from UC to the State of California's College and University Social Security Number Task Force (AB1168).
