Elmer began his career at UMBC in 1994 as employment manager for the Department of Human Resources. He was promoted to assistant director and later to his current position of director of employment and employee/labor relations. Prior to joining UMBC, he worked as an investigator/negotiator of discrimination complaints at the Maryland Commission on Human Relations and then as director of personnel for the Maryland Correctional Pre-Release Program.
During Elmer’s tenure he has successfully worked with employees from recruitment to separation. He has helped numerous individuals launch their careers over the years by providing career guidance, job seeking skills and mentoring interns.

Elmer’s philosophy is to always have and show compassion.
We hope you will join us in expressing our gratitude for Elmer’s contributions to the UMBC community. Please stop by and wish him well.
