Anderson Schools Name Outstanding Faculty Member

The Robert O. Anderson Schools of Management (ASM) at the University of New Mexico honored Richard A. Reid with the 2004 Community Leadership Award at the ASM 15th Annual Hall of Fame dinner May 6. Reid, a professor in the Department of Marketing, Information Systems and Decision Sciences, was chosen as the outstanding faculty member based on his service to the community, teaching and research excellence.

“The Foundation Board is always pleased to honor faculty members who bring their expertise back into the community,” said John Brown, chair of the ASM Foundation Board’s Community Relations committee. “While academic honors often focus exclusively on published articles, we like to recognize those people who make a point of enriching the community, both on a local level and on a larger professional level. Dr. Reid demonstrates all the qualities that we look for in a faculty leader.”

Reid joined the faculty at the Anderson Schools in 1969. He received his Ph.D. in 1970 from Ohio State University. He teaches classes on service operations management, production and inventory management, management of science, business statistics and management of quality. Reid has been published extensively in a variety of peer-reviewed journals, most recently partnering with ASM adjunct faculty member Jim Cormier to write “Applying the TOC Thinking Process: A Case Study in the Service Sector,” which was published in the September/October 2003 issue of Managing Service Quality.

Reid is a member of the Decisions Sciences Institute and the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences. He has also served as a consultant for Los Alamos National Laboratory, AlliedSignal Aerospace and Sandia National Laboratories. He serves on the board of directors for the
Albuquerque Chapter of the Educational Society for Resource Management (APICS) and was a guest speaker at the chapter’s January 2004 meeting.

Reid was honored along with ASM alumni Michael J. Glennon, Eric M. Pillmore and Michael A. Romero, who were inducted into the ASM Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame event is ASM’s most significant and visible community event. The funds raised help support student scholarships, faculty research and career placement activities.
