Bonnie Windsor to Retire on November 1

Dear Colleagues,

After more than 30 years of service at Johns Hopkins, Bonnie Windsor will retire on Nov. 1 of this year.

Currently, Bonnie is the senior vice president of human resources for Johns Hopkins Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Health System. Prior to that post, she successfully led as vice president of human resources for The Johns Hopkins Hospital and senior director of human resources for the health system.

Bonnie's leadership and creativity—along with her profound gift for hiring, developing and motivating people to best serve our patients and their families—will undoubtedly be missed. She first came to Johns Hopkins in 1977, working as a registered nurse in the pediatric intensive care unit, steadily and skillfully rising to a position as associate nursing director in pediatrics. After leaving the state of Maryland for a number of years, Bonnie was—not surprisingly—recruited back to Johns Hopkins as associate director of Intrastaff. She was promoted to director in 1990, and in 1993, she adeptly assumed the additional role of director of career services in human resources. In 2004, Bonnie became senior director of human resources, and in 2013, she was promoted to vice president of human resources for The Johns Hopkins Hospital and senior director of human resources for the health system. She began in her most recent appointment—the position from which she will retire—in February 2015.

In all of her time here, Bonnie has shown unwavering dedication to supporting our mission of improving the health of our communities and the world. Her guidance has invariably allowed us to attract, develop and retain many of the world's best people—a designation which she herself has most certainly earned.

A distinguished alumna of our university, Bonnie received her master's degree in health care administration from The Johns Hopkins University and her bachelor's degree in nursing from the University of Maryland. She is a graduate of the Johns Hopkins Medicine Leadership Program and the Greater Baltimore Committee's LEADERship Program. Most recently Bonnie has dedicated a lot of her efforts and time to supporting our Johns Hopkins Medicine International initiatives, offering guidance to many of our locations overseas.

To find Bonnie's successor as senior vice president, we've convened a search committee, which I will chair with Karen Davis, vice president of nursing and chief nursing officer for Howard County General Hospital. While Bonnie's presence within our halls will be missed, we are happy to know that she and her husband, Rob, look forward to spending more time with each other and enjoying the company of their grandson, Max, who recently turned 4 months old.

Please join me in congratulating Bonnie on an impeccable career and in thanking her for all she has done for our employees, our patients and their families—and all of us—at Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Sincerely,

Robert A. Kasdin
Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
Johns Hopkins Medicine
