Members of the presidential search committee were announced today following a closed session by Missouri Southern State University’s Board of Governors.
The committee will make recommendations to the board as part of the search for the next university president.
The search committee members, who represent the Missouri Southern campus and local community, are:
Scott Boudreaux, MSSU Foundation
Steven Brunson, MSSU Staff Senate
Alan Cook, MSSU Lionbackers
Linda Dean, MSSU Alumni Association
Darren Fullerton, MSSU Vice President of Student Affairs
Jerrod Hogan, Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce
Dr. Nicholas Nicoletti, MSSU’s Empowering U program
Dr. Rebecca Mouser, MSSU Faculty Senate
Sarah Schultz, MSSU Student Senate
Phil Stinnett, city of Joplin
The search committee will also include board members Alison Hershewe, Carlos Haley, T. Mark Elliott and Bill Gipson.
“The search committee members were nominated by individual entities,” said Gipson, chair of the Board of Governors. “The next step is to meet and begin discussing the results of the search firm process. Proposals were solicited for a search firm to assist in the identification of presidential candidates.”
Gipson said the search committee intends to meet before the next board meeting in January.
Earlier this fall, Dr. Alan Marble – the university’s current president – announced his intention to retire as of June 30, 2020.
In other business, the board welcomed two new members, who were recently appointed by Gov. Mike Parson.
Mariann Morgan, of Carthage, is an attorney with Checkett & Pauly P.C. in Carthage. Ron Richard, owner of C & N Bowling Corp. in Joplin, formerly served in the Missouri Senate from 2010-18 and in the House of Representatives from 2002-10.
They replace Tracy Flanigan, whose term ended on Aug. 30, and Michael Franks, who recently announced his resignation.
