Bill > SJR0101

This resolution confirms the appointment of Dakasha Winton to the state university board of Tennessee State University, in accordance with Tennessee state law. The resolution notes that Governor Bill Lee appointed Winton to serve a term expiring on March 31, 2028, and provides background on her qualifications, including her status as a graduate of Tennessee State University and the University of Memphis Law School, and her current role as senior vice president and chief government relations officer for BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. The resolution references specific state statutes that govern the composition of the university's board, which require that the governor appoint eight board members, with at least three being alumni of the institution and at least six being Tennessee residents. The resolution formally confirms Winton's appointment through a joint resolution of the Tennessee Senate and House of Representatives, as mandated by state law that requires gubernatorial appointments to the university board to be confirmed by both legislative chambers.
