“I commend all those appointed for their willingness to serve the state through its boards and commissions,” Bredesen said. “Tennesseans have always been recognized for dedicating their time and talents to serve their fellow citizens, and I appreciate these men and women for upholding this tradition. I am confident they will represent their respective boards with integrity and honor.” 

Appointment terms vary based on statutory recommendations or term limits specified by geographic or other qualifications. The appointments are as follows:

From Murfreesboro:

• Steven J. Smith was named to the Emergency Communications Board,

• Echell Eady was named to the State Workforce Development Board, and

• John Mack Green was named to the Tennessee Board of Court Reporting.

La Vergne’s Gloria L. Bishop was named to the Tennessee Foreign Language Institute.

Correction: As reported yesterday, Mark T. Archer of Buchanan, Tenn. was named to the Emergency Communications Board. However, his Buchanan is in Henry County outside Paris, Tenn., not in Rutherford County. The Post regrets the error.
