Bill > HJR0158

This resolution confirms the appointment of Marquita Qualls to the state university board of Tennessee State University, as appointed by Governor Bill Lee for a term ending on March 31, 2027. The resolution draws from Tennessee Code Annotated, which requires that the governor appoint eight members to the university's board, with at least three alumni of the institution and six members who are Tennessee residents. The resolution highlights Qualls' background as a Tennessee State University chemistry graduate with a Ph.D. from Purdue University, her professional experience at GSK and as the founder of Entropia Consulting, and her leadership roles in professional chemistry organizations. The resolution follows the legal requirement that gubernatorial appointments to the state university board must be confirmed by both the state senate and house of representatives, formally endorsing Qualls' appointment to serve on the board.
