Tomczak named DIRM director

The Division of Information Resource Management has a new director, but it is a very familiar face. Karen Tomczak, who has worked in DIRM since 1986, was appointed by DHHS Secretary Carmen Hooker Odom in April.

“Karen has shown that she is a manager who understands both the people side and the computer side of the equation, skills that are absolutely essential to this role,” Hooker Odom said.

Hooker Odom said she was pleased to appoint a director who has risen through the ranks of DIRM, learning each facet of the division. Tomczak began her career as a Computer Programmer I in June 1986. Since that time, she has held a number of positions including applications development project supervisor, applications development manager and deputy director. She has served as acting director for much of 2005.

Tomczak graduated from University of North Carolina at Wilmington with a major in computer science and a minor in business administration.
