Lemon Williams, a cybersecurity consultant and former District 28 Republican House candidate, will replace Judge Gerald Webb on the Erlanger Board of Trustees, according to a news release from the Hamilton County state legislative delegation.
Williams grew up in Chattanooga, graduated from Central High School and earned a degree from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville before launching his career in information technology – implementing risk management systems and cybersecurity programs for major corporations, governmental agencies and public utility companies.
The news release states that Williams is “well respected in his field” and has “contributed at the national level to the drafting of federal technology regulations.”
Williams served at several large firms and was initially based in Houston and Seattle before returning to his hometown to launch Ionado Group, a consulting firm providing advanced cybersecurity solutions, services and strategies.
“The delegation is pleased to appoint Lemon Williams to the Erlanger Board of Trustees. Having someone with his expertise in cybersecurity will certainly be beneficial to the board and to the hospital. Lemon is committed to serving our public health hospital and recognizes their critical role in providing access to health care in our region. We are confident his service will be a plus for Erlanger and our community,” said Rep. Patsy Hazlewood, R-Signal Mountain, chair of the delegation.
