Martha Wood, Library Administrator
AMS Planning & Research Corp.

Martha Wood joined AMS in 1998 as a Library Administrator in the Connecticut office, where she manages the database for AMS's project and reference-related information. The AMS database catalogues specific project reports and reference materials, and also maintains a large knowledge database of performing arts facilities around the world for instant retrieval. Martha's goal is to continue expanding the flow of online resources for all AMS offices and to better serve our clients.

Martha worked for two Fortune 500 companies (one being Xerox) in their corporate offices, where her jobs gave her a wide range of knowledge on how the business world operates. She worked in Corporate Tax; Credit and Collections; Building Facility Services and Corporate Accounting, which led to an Accountant position for Xerox's Real Estate Development Division. While working full-time, she attended undergraduate courses at Fairfield University in Business and Accounting.

Martha came to AMS after a leave from the workforce to raise three children, but stayed very active in numerous volunteer organizations. Martha's background not only allows her to understand the data entry side of computer programs, but also has given her the ability to assist in the programming of the software for AMS's specific needs of data storage.
