NASHVILLE – Gov. Bill Haslam on Monday announced appointments of 120 Tennesseans -including six from Hamilton County – to dozens of state boards and commissions.
“These Tennesseans are giving their time and talents to help make our state better,” the governor said in a news release. “I am grateful for their willingness to serve and their commitment to our state.”
Appointment terms vary by statutory requirements or term limits. Local appointments are:
* The Board of Appeals: Donna Kelley, retired personnel director for the city of Chattanooga, has been named to a full term on the panel, created to hear appeals of state workers appealing demotions, suspensions or terminations under the governor’s 2012 overhaul of the state’s civil service system.
* Board of Occupational Therapy: Amy Burba, of Hixson, has been appointed to the agency which regulates occupational therapists.
