Introducing UMBC’s Travel Advisory Board

To help guide the successful rollout of SAP Concur Travel at UMBC, we’ve launched the Travel Advisory Board (TAB)—a group of faculty and staff from across campus who bring valuable insight and feedback to the table. TAB was created to ensure the new travel system meets the needs of our community, improves current processes, and supports a smooth transition.

TAB members serve as liaisons to their departments, review key implementation documents, and help shape how Concur will be introduced and used across campus. Their input is essential to aligning the system with the way we work at UMBC.

We’re grateful to the inaugural members of TAB for their time, expertise, and ongoing collaboration:

• Bryan Casey, AVP and Controller, Financial Services (Chair)

• David Di Maria, Assistant Vice Provost for International Education

• Adam Drutz-Hannahs, Assistant Manager, Financial Services

• Catherine Manalansan, Administrative Assistant, JCET

• Charles Nicholas, Professor, CSEE

• Ken Schreihofer, Director, Business Systems, DoIT

• Desiree Stonesifer, Business Manager, Administrative SSC

• Margo Young, Director, Earth & Space Research Administration (ESRA)

TAB has already begun shaping key decisions that will directly impact the travel experience at UMBC. As implementation continues, the board will play a vital role in keeping the community informed, gathering feedback, and helping address questions or challenges along the way.

Have questions or want to stay in the loop? Feel free to reach out to any of the board members above—they’re here to help make Concur a success for all of us.
