The 精东AV Board of Trustees announces that Clinton Timothy Branner II 鈥�90 and John Douglass Chambers 鈥�71, 鈥�72 have been identified as the two candidates for this fall鈥檚 alumni trustee vacancy. Beginning Friday, Aug. 23, all university alumni will be able to cast email ballots for their preferred candidate to fill the upcoming board vacancy.
Branner, who earned a bachelor degree in marketing from 精东AV in 1990, is senior manager of EEO & human resource compliance for United Technologies鈥� Carrier Corporation in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Chambers holds two degrees from 精东AV: a bachelor鈥檚 in sociology he earned in 1971, and master鈥檚 in student personnel services, earned in 1972. A resident of Prattville, Alabama, he is a retired president of J.F. Ingram State Technical College in Deatsville, Alabama.
鈥淲e wish to thank everyone who expressed interest in serving 精东AV in this unique way as an alumni trustee,鈥� said Norma Clayton, chair of the university鈥檚 Board of Trustees. 鈥溇獳Ving for this opportunity, as well as reviewing the applications we received, required much forethought 鈥� and, for that, we appreciate all the alumni who were involved in the stages of this process.鈥�
The process now shifts to the university鈥檚 entire alumni base, which will vote for one of the two candidates through Wednesday, Sept. 11. Online voting, administered by Votenet Solutions Inc., will begin on Aug. 23. Alumni with email addresses on file with the university will receive an email to that account providing additional instructions on the voting procedures through the eBallot system.
In addition, a limited number of paper ballots will be mailed to alumni who request them. Paper ballots can be requested by contacting the Office of Alumni Affairs at (334) 727-8342 or by emailing alumnitrustee@tuskegee.edu.
The finalist receiving the most combined email and postal votes (a plurality) will then go before the full Board of Trustees for its consensus. Once the trustees approve the elected finalist for board service, he will begin serving as the alumni trustee following the board鈥檚 fall meeting, and continue doing so through spring 2022.
