The Division of the Chief of Staff

Connecting strategy to action, risk to resilience, and community to purpose!

Dear UNT Health Community,

I am honored to serve as Chief of Staff in the Office of the President, where I have the privilege of working alongside dedicated colleagues who are deeply committed to advancing the mission and vision of our institution.

The Division of the Chief of Staff plays a strategic and unifying role at UNT Health. Our division leads efforts that shape the university’s trajectory—guiding strategy and risk, community engagement and project management. Together, these functions work across all units and disciplines to ensure that UNT Health remains agile, aligned, and forward-thinking.

As we drive this work forward, we are grounded in the values of the UNT System:

Courageous Integrity in our decisions and leadership;
Be Curious in exploring innovative solutions to complex challenges;
We Care in every relationship, both on and off campus; and
Better Together as we collaborate across teams, communities, and disciplines.

Whether we’re building partnerships, advancing strategic priorities, or stewarding initiatives that impact lives in our community and beyond, our team is here to support the university’s continued success.

We look forward to continued collaboration across campus and thank you for all you do to make UNT Health a truly exceptional place to work, learn, and serve.

With gratitude,

Taunya Williams, MBA
Chief of Staff
Office of the President
