ORONO — University of Maine System Chancellor Joseph Westphal has approved two recent University of Maine appointments. Robin Toderian has been promoted to the role of Assistant Vice President of Auxiliary Services and June Baldacci has been named director of Purchasing and Resource Efficiency.
“In two years as UMaine’s executive director of auxiliary services, Robin has proven to be a creative and entrepreneurial senior manager,” says Janet Waldron, UMaine’s vice president for administration and finance. “She has demonstrated expertise in strategic planning, project and change management, finance and employee relations. Robin has a strong track record in directing multiple departments, in team-building, and in establishing solid relationships with customers, clients and suppliers.”
Toderian’s former employers include the University of Toronto, where she worked for 15 years, Touche Ross & Co. and other businesses. She holds a professional accounting designation from Canada as a Certified General Accountant.
Close professional associates have described Toderian as having “very effective financial, business, and supervisory experience” and as being “very opened minded and very good at problem solving.” She also is “a visionary, a strategic thinker, and a good communicator,” they say.
“We are also extremely pleased to have June Baldacci on board.” Waldron says. “June is an experienced purchasing and materials manager with a proven record of success in implementing cost reduction and cost avoidance programs.” Her former employers include Bangor Hydro-Electric Company, where she worked for 15 years, Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems, Maine Air National Guard and the 776th Radar Squadron in the U.S. Air Force. She earned a bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Maine and a master’s in business from Husson College. Baldacci is also a Certified Purchasing Manager.
“June is professional, customer service- oriented, and possesses enthusiasm and good people skills,” Waldron says. “She also embraces change — an appropriate attribute in a dynamic environment such as UMaine. I am confident the campus community will enjoy working with her.”
