Thursday, June 13, 2024

(June 13, 2024) Ocean Pines Association General Manager John Viola on Thursday announced that Linda Martin would be promoted to director of business administration, effective immediately.

“In her new role, Linda will operate as the chief of staff for the GM office,” Viola said. “Please join me in congratulating Linda and wishing her well in this new role.”

Born and raised on the western shore of Maryland, Martin majored in accounting at Anne Arundel Community College and has held a variety of financial-related jobs in government, retail, medical and community-based organizations.

Martin moved to the Eastern Shore in 2006 and worked for the Public Works/CPI Department from 2006-2017 as an office coordinator. Viola recruited Martin to return to Ocean Pines as the Public Works office manager in 2021, and she later transitioned to the GM office as the senior executive office manager.

In May, Martin obtained a degree in business administration from Southern New Hampshire University and received the President’s Award for maintaining a 4.0 grade point average.

“I would like to thank John Viola for all the opportunities that he has provided me since I returned to Ocean Pines almost four years ago,” Martin said. “He inspired me to return to school to obtain my degree, and I am very appreciative of his support.”

Viola said by investing in the professional growth and development of its staff, OPA aims to continue providing results in customer service to the community.

"Recognizing our staff continues to be one of my favorite parts of the job,” Viola said.
