While Gloden Carlson is stepping away from HR to pursue other opportunities, she will continue to serve as UNMC\u2019s chief compliance officer on a part-time basis \u2013 a role she has held since July 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to have Linda serve as interim director of HR,\u201d said Anne Barnes, vice chancellor for business, finance and business development at UNMC. \u201cLinda\u2019s experience, background and understanding of HR issues will ensure a seamless transition for our employees and institution. I want to thank Sarah for her outstanding leadership of the department and for her continued work as our chief compliance officer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cunningham joined UNMC in 1998, initially working in the UNMC Division of Cardiology. After earning a master\u2019s degree from the University of Nebraska, she served as assistant director of community partnership before transitioning to UNMC Human Resources. In human resources, she has held positions including division director, assistant director and, since 2020, associate director. In her current role, Cunningham provides leadership for employee relations, training and development, employee benefits and the child development center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Said Cunningham, \u201cI am honored to step into the role of interim HR director and am eager to collaborate with our exceptional team. Together, we will continue to build on our successes, address challenges and strengthen our workplace culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cunningham
