The term of Allen Stokes, a TVA retiree and the current 7th Board member, ends October 31, 2015. The 7th member is appointed by the other six per the retirement system rules. Allen has served as 7th member for four years. Allen has submitted his name for consideration for another term. Last I heard, his is the only name that has been submitted. If any other names are submitted, I will keep an open mind and be happy to participate with the other five board members when we conduct the interview process. At this time though, in response to many of your questions, I want to let you know that I have been impressed with Allen’s performance and leadership as 7th member and Chairman of the TVARS Board. Allen’s positions are always well thought out. He takes his responsibility to TVA retirees and employees very seriously. If Allen is reappointed as the 7th Board member, I believe the TVARS Board would be in a very good position to follow through on some matters of great importance
