Heidi E. Conway, associate director of benefits services at Harvard University, has been named senior director of benefits planning and administration at The Johns Hopkins University.

Conway, who joined Johns Hopkins Feb. 15, is responsible for shaping benefits packages offered to more than 14,000 university employees and for administration of those benefits.

"Heidi's track record in nearly 10 years at Harvard includes a dogged determination to treat the university's employees fairly and serve them well," said Charlene Hayes, vice president for human resources at Johns Hopkins. "She has a wealth of experience that will serve Johns Hopkins well, both in running a benefits program and in heading important special projects."

Hayes said that Conway's priorities at Johns Hopkins will include continued improvement of services to employees, development of strategies to manage the rising cost of health care and assistance with the implementation of HopkinsOne, the business systems improvement project of the university and the Johns Hopkins Health System.

"I am very excited and pleased to join the Johns Hopkins team," Conway said. "It is a very important time of change for the university, and I look forward to contributing in my new role, especially in the areas ... that Charlene has mentioned."

Conway joined Harvard in 1995 and was promoted to associate director of benefits services in 2002. Previously, she had served as assistant director, manager of benefits services, benefits coordinator and human resources assistant. She is a 1988 graduate of New England College and earned a master of science in administrative studies from Boston College in 2004.
