Last year, Softshare was seeking the perfect match. And we found it when we hired Mr. Tom Martin to manage Softshare’s Government Services team.
Not only does Tom have 10 years of management experience, he’s also well versed in the intricacies of government programs. In his previous position, Tom was the Privacy and Compliance Officer for the Rehabilitation Institute at Santa Barbara. He oversaw accreditation and licensing, corporate compliance, and compliance with the federal government’s HIPAA (Health Insurance and Portability and Accountability act) mandate.
Have you had the opportunity to talk with Tom yet? If you have, you know he’s charming, thoughtful, prefers his beverages shaken (not stirred), and is a fantastic addition to Softshare’s team.
If you haven’t, you will soon. Because in addition to taking your calls and helping out with the free Softshare ‘CATS training that we host regularly here in Santa Barbara, Tom will be exhibiting at the APTAC Conference next month as well as at the ASBDC Conference in the fall.
In fact, Tom is the new go-to person for those special concerns or requests regarding Softshare ‘CATS. He can be reached directly at tomm@softshare.com or 805-899-2366. (Don’t worry—Colette Williams, our former ‘CATS go-to person, hasn’t left the company. But she has left the country! She’s celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary with a three-month trip around the world.)
So the next time you talk to Tom (or meet him), be sure to give him a big welcome. Between the needs of your center and his background, you all have a lot in common!
