Chatfield Hired as New BBISS Director of Business Administration

The position of Director of Business Administration is a new role that will provide administrative leadership and oversight for BBISS’ growing portfolio of programs and activities. Chatfield began her Georgia Tech career as program and operations manager at the Center for Serve-Learn-Sustain (SLS) in 2015. In 2023, SLS transitioned into the Center for Sustainable Communities Research and Education (SCoRE), housed within BBISS, with Chatfield assuming the program and portfolio manager role.

At first glance, she wasn’t a typical sustainability hire at Georgia Tech.

She was a business management consultant for a law firm who had also helped a national survey data firm with their data crunching. Higher ed was “like a different planet,” she recalls.
