Senate Joint Resolution 111, sponsored by Senator 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, serving as the president and CEO of the Niswonger Foundation, and previously holding positions at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) as vice provost for enrollment services and director of the Roan Scholars Leadership Program. She also has experience as a public-school teacher and holds multiple degrees from ETSU.

The resolution emphasizes that, according to Tennessee law, all members appointed by the governor to the board must be confirmed by a joint resolution of the General Assembly. Therefore, the resolution formally confirms Dr. Dishner's appointment, recognizing her qualifications and contributions to the field of education.
