Senate Joint Resolution 633 confirms the appointment of Tony Treadway to the state university board of East Tennessee State University (ETSU) for a term ending on June 30, 2031. This appointment is made in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated, which stipulates that the governor appoints six members to the board, with at least three being alumni of the institution. Governor Bill Lee has nominated Treadway, who is the President, CEO, and founder of The Creative Energy Group Inc. and has a background in journalism. He is also an active community member, having served on the Johnson City School Board and the Industrial Development Board.
Treadway holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communications and Political Science from ETSU, graduating magna cum laude. His contributions to the university have been recognized through an Award of Honor from the ETSU Alumni Association and his induction into the ETSU Mass Communications Department's Hall of Fame. The resolution emphasizes the requirement for confirmation by both the Senate and the House of Representatives for gubernatorial appointees to the state university board, thereby formalizing Treadway's role in governance at ETSU.
