Senate Joint Resolution 111, sponsored by Johnson, seeks to confirm the appointment of Dr. Nancy Dishner to the board of directors of the Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation. This appointment is made by Governor Bill Lee and is set to last until June 30, 2029. Dr. Dishner, who resides in Greeneville, has an extensive background in education, currently serving as the president and CEO of the Niswonger Foundation. Her previous roles include vice provost for enrollment services and director of the Roan Scholars Leadership Program at East Tennessee State University (ETSU), where she was also a tenured professor.

The resolution highlights Dr. Dishner's qualifications, including her educational background with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, a master's degree in supervision and administration, and a doctorate in administration, all from ETSU. According to Tennessee law, the governor's appointees to the board must be confirmed by a joint resolution of the General Assembly, which this resolution aims to accomplish.
