Jeff Brady, executive director of Campus Dining and Shops (CDS), has been elected vice president of the SUNY Auxiliary Services Association (SASA).

He is the first UB representative to serve as an officer in SASA.

Each of SUNY’s 64 campuses operates its own auxiliary service corporation (ASC), which provides such services as dining, vending, laundry and transportation for the campuses. SASA represents the interests of all SUNY auxiliaries, acting as an effective spokes-group, advocate and resource for the ASCs.

A UB staff member for 13 years — the last six as executive director of CDS — Brady has overseen numerous changes and improvements to CDS operations, including construction of the award-winning Crossroads Culinary Center, UB’s newest residential dining center.

UB and CDS hosted SASA’s 2013 spring meeting and will host the 2016 National Association of College and University Food Services’ (NACUFS) Northeast Regional Conference.
