Shirley Drewry Dodd of Russellville will serve as president of the Arkansas Tech Alumni Association Board of Directors in 2012. Jim White of Rogers has been selected to serve as the organization’s president-elect in 2012.
Nominations for the Alumni Board may be made by any alumnus or alumna of Arkansas Tech University. The Arkansas Tech Office of Alumni Services receives and processes the nominations for review. Deadline for nominations is Sept. 1 of each year.
Those nominations are forwarded to a five-person selection committee, which in turn presents no more than eight names for consideration to the vice president for development at Arkansas Tech. The vice president for development reviews the recommendations and forwards them to the university president, who makes recommendations to the Arkansas Tech Board of Trustees. At that point, it is the responsibility of the Tech Board of Trustees to appoint eight members representing the Russellville campus to the Arkansas Tech Alumni Association Board of Directors each year.
The Alumni Board also includes one representative from Arkansas Tech-Ozark Campus.
