retired on August 31, 2008. Carla has been a
Senior Buyer in the UH Purchasing Department

find HUB vendors that will meet the needs of
departments.

Her office will continue to be in the
Purchasing Department suite at University
Business Park so she can work closely with

be responsible for issuing purchase orders.
