This resolution confirms the appointment of DeWitt Booth to the advisory board for the University of Tennessee Southern, as appointed by Governor Bill Lee for a term ending on June 30, 2028. The resolution is based on Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-9-501, which requires the governor to appoint five members to each University of Tennessee advisory board and mandates that these appointments be confirmed by the general assembly. The resolution highlights Booth's background as a banker from Pulaski, a former vice president of the Bank of Frankewing, and a member of the Giles County Industrial Development Board and Southern Tennessee Regional Health Systems hospital board. Additionally, Booth has a personal connection to the institution, having attended classes at Martin Methodist College (now University of Tennessee Southern) and being actively involved with the campus through various programs, including campus sports, the Student Advisory Board, and the President's Council.
