sooooooooooo here's the deal. i couldn't go to class this past week. why? well, i had other places to be. namely, Grace Episcopal Church in Sheffield, Alabama. tuesday was the choral fall showcase, and i, being in the collegiate singers, was required to be at the church at 6:00 for pre-concert rehearsal. therefore, unhappily, i missed class. so i kinda just lookd up our speaker, and read other's blogs, and here's my impression of her.
Ms. Libby Watts Jordan, Director of Cultural Tourism; UNA Board of Trustees; and Florence-Lauderdale Tourism Bureau. sounds pretty important.
In June 2011, she voted no when the board proposed moving UNA to Division One in athletics. The school is in fact moving slower in making the transition into the higher division as a result of the rejection by the Ohio Valley Conference; however, Jordan views this rejection as an opportunity to build strength in the school's Division Two athletics through fundraising and other such strategies. According to Jordan, this opportunity will end up a good strategy, because "when other conferences come to us with an invitation, we'll be ready." [florala.net, Lucy Berry]
So, important lady, important decisions. and her term on the board expires in 2019 so she's got lots of time to make happen what she wants to happen. because i think she can do it.
