Bredesen appoints Hayes to State Commission

Sharon L. Hayes

Governor Phil Bredesen has appointed three women to serve on three state boards and commissions. Among them is Sharon Hayes of Brownsville, who has been appointed to serve on the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. Hayes recently retired from the University of Memphis and is the Director of Planning for the City of Brownsvillle.

“The state of Tennessee relies on citizens like these women who are willing to serve the state through its boards and commissions,” Bredesen said. “I appreciate their willingness to offer their service to our state, and thank them for the valuable additions they will be to the organizations to which they have been appointed.

“During my eight years as Governor I’ve had the privilege of making thousands of appointments to various boards and commissions. With these final appointments of my term, I want to express my sincere appreciation to all of these Tennesseans for their willingness to serve our state. Much of the function of our government relies on the honorable, voluntary service of these individuals, and I thank each of them for their contributions.”

Appointment terms vary based on statutory recommendations or term limits specified by geographic or other qualifications. 

The other appointments are:
Governor's Council on Service Members, Veterans and Their Families
Alyson Delaney, Fort Campbell

Tennessee Historical Records Advisory Board
Beverly G. Bond, Germantown
