The appointment follows Tennessee Code Annotated, which requires the governor to appoint seven board members and mandates that such appointments be confirmed by a joint resolution of the general assembly. Dr. Dishner, an ETSU alumna with degrees in Elementary Education, supervision and administration, and administration, is being confirmed to serve on the TELC board, which oversees the state's lottery operations.
