Gov. Bill Haslam on Wednesday announced the appointments of 91 Tennesseans to 45 boards and commissions.
“Tennessee will be well-represented on these boards and commissions, and I want to thank these men and women for their commitment to serve their fellow Tennesseans,” Haslam said.
The governor continues his evaluation of the state’s complete range of boards and commissions to ensure Tennesseans have a government that is responsive, effective and efficient.
