Randolph Scott new policy
and program design leader
"I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Randolph R. Scott, SPHR, as Executive Director, Systemwide Human Resources & Benefits Policy and Program Design, effective July 25, 2005. He will fill the position previously held by Michele French, who as you may know recently retired.
"Randy brings to this appointment more than 20 years of human resources management experience, demonstrated leadership in promoting a progressive workforce and workplace environment, and a thorough understanding of the University's benefits, policies, programs and practices.
"Most recently, he served as Chief Human Resources Officer and member of the senior management team at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. In that capacity, he was responsible for planning, articulating, and implementing the lab's human resources strategies, policies and programs for the lab's 3,900 employees. He also served as the lab's chief human resources liaison and business partner to UC, the U.S. Department of Energy, and numerous public agencies and private organizations.
"For three consecutive years at the lab, Randy led the effort that produced an overall 'outstanding' rating for lab HR operations under the UC-DOE Performance Assessment System, and as national chair for the DOE Contractor HR Council Task Force on HR Department accreditation, he led the team that developed HR standards for validation by the National Academy of Public Administration. He has served as a member of UC's Medical Contribution Strategy Task Force since its inception, and currently serves on the UC Compensation and Benefits Task Force.
"Randy's prior experience includes six years in several senior human resources positions at Kaiser Permanente, six years as vice president of human resources at Blue Cross─Blue Shield of Missouri, and management positions with several private sector companies.
"He holds a master's degree in Education Administration from West Virginia University, and an undergraduate degree from West Virginia Wesleyan College. He also holds several professional certifications for human resources management. He is president-elect of the Northern California Human Resource Association, and a member of the Society for Human Resources Management. He is also vice-president for the San Francisco Fine Arts Museums Board of Trustees, and a board member for the Booker T. Washington Community Center in San Francisco.
"Please join me in extending a warm welcome to Randy as he assumes this very important role for the University."
