Price has supervised and executed several projects for BOC, including a mobile and web application to streamline the facility accreditation site survey process, and the design and launch of MyBOC, a customer-centric web portal on the BOC website.
“We are very excited for BOC’s future and the new roles Wendy and Jeff have assumed,” Claudia Zacharias, MBA, CAE, BOC president and chief executive officer, stated in a press release. “Our long-standing plan has been to unify the two departments to promote internal and external efficiency and cohesiveness. The new alignment allows us to better serve those who depend on BOC.”
