TSU president also takes over from Dickens as lead director
A member of the Pinnacle Financial Partners board of directors since late 2007 will step down next month after the bank holding company’s annual shareholders’ meeting.
Gary Scott joined the Pinnacle board when the downtown-based company acquired Mid-America Bancshares, which owned PrimeTrust Bank a community bank Scott had helped launch in 2001 and Bank of the South. He is not allowed to run for another term on the body because he is 75, the age at which Pinnacle’s governance policies say no director can be renominated.
In part because of his tenure on the board, Scott had come to be considered an independent director rather than an insider. That distinction allowed him to until recently chair the board’s risk committee Renda Burkhart, a Knoxville accountant, now holds that position and be a member of its nomination and corporate governance committee.
CoreCivic’s directors have elected the president of Tennessee State University to join them on the board of the prison management company.
Glenda Baskin Glover will join the CoreCivic board March 1, becoming the company’s 12th director and the fourth woman director. She has led TSU since the beginning of 2013, after serving as dean of its Jackson State University s college of business. Before that, Glover chaired the accounting department at Howard University.
“Creating life-changing educational opportunities for individuals in need is one of CoreCivic s most meaningful missions, and it is certainly a lifelong calling of Dr. Glover’s,” CoreCivic President and CEO Damon Hininger said in a statement that praised Glover for her extraordinary combination of expertise in business, education and community leadership.”
