Bill > SJR0094

This joint resolution confirms the appointment of David Watson to the board of trustees of the University of Tennessee, a position appointed by Governor Bill Lee for a term ending on June 30, 2030. The resolution highlights Watson's background as a third-generation Tennessean, a 1973 graduate of the University of Tennessee, and a co-founder of Mountain View Auto Group, which operates seven dealerships in the Chattanooga area. Tennessee law requires that gubernatorial appointments to the University of Tennessee's board of trustees must be confirmed by a joint resolution of the General Assembly. Watson, who has previously served on the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission, is considered to bring valuable experience and knowledge to the board. The resolution formally confirms his appointment in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-9-202, which provides for the governance of the University of Tennessee and the appointment of its board members.
