After reviewing all the feedback forms from parties interested in voicing their opinion on the potential directors, the search committee submitted its recom mendation to Vice President for Administration Chuck Sippial. Sippial and other administrators then made their final decision, selecting Weis. Reasons for selection of the current director of Georgia Tech’s Parking and Transportation Services include his imple mentation of a customer online service. This service gives customers 24 hour access to their infonnation, allowing them to buy parking permits, view possible cita tions, file appeals and take care of pay ments, among other services. Weis said changes to A&M’s current system will have to be implemented over a large time span, though he hopes the online citation payment and an e-mail notification system may begin sometime this fall. Looking back at previous statements from Sippial and Bisor, incoming Weis also looks to be a strong match to their ideal individual with a customer-service emphasis and priority. In a previous interview, Sippial said, “I will be looking for strong management and leadership skills as well as a strong background in customer service... I want to maximize customer service and in the process, make getting customers to their destination our number one priority.” Weis described himself as very cus tomer-driven, an attitude which often put students at ease as they walked into Georgia Tech’s Parking Office. He hopes to improve and maintain a quality relationship between students and PTTS by keeping communication lines open. His high level of involvement shows not only in the quantity of articles he was quoted in The Technique, Georgia Tech’s campus newspaper, but in his dedication towards keeping students informed. “I love working with students, reaching out to them ... if I haven’t been invited to student government meetings, I will try to go there and try to meet student leader ship. There’s no way to solve a problem unless you talk about it and everyone understands. “Someone asked how I felt about com ing over to A&M and -in one word - excited,” said Weis.
