Hyche, who also served as the Camden Team Leader responsible for developing sound accounting and fiscal monitoring systems for Camden, will replace former COO Judge Theodore Davis, who will vacate the office effective Aug. 31.
"Albertha Hyche has demonstrated the keen insight and financial acumen that makes her a great choice to oversee the immediate operations of the City of Camden," said Governor Corzine. "Her willingness to take on this tremendous responsibility will provide for a seamless transition until a permanent chief operating officer can be appointed."
Hyche, a Treasury employee, has been working on-site at Camden City Hall for nearly two years as the Camden Team Leader charged with the responsibility of assisting COO Davis in implementing numerous financial reform measures. She has also served as the interim finance director, and over the past several months has played an active role in the reform of the city's business affairs.
A resident of Lumberton, Hyche has more than 21 years of experience in financial management. She has served in the state Department of the Treasury as a manager of special administrative services, as an accounting supervisor, accountant, and accounting assistant.
She is a graduate of Rutgers University School of Business in Camden with a bachelor's degree in accounting, and holds a master's degree in administrative science from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a master's in accounting from Kean University.
