Board fills governance roles, appoints external directors and elects pro tem
Summary
The board confirmed trustee nominations and approved appointments to external boards, including R. Coleman Loper to the Southern Research Institute board and a new UAB Saint Vincent's board director; trustees also elected Scott Phelps as president pro tempore for another term.
Trustees used the annual meeting to confirm governance nominations, approve trustee committee assignments and ratify appointments to external boards.
The board approved the appointment of R. Coleman Loper to the Southern Research Institute Board of Directors for an initial term ending in November 2026. The appointment was presented during the committee session and approved by voice vote.
A resolution appointing Dr. Ray Watts as the new director of the UAB Saint Vincent's Health System Board and its subsidiaries (replacing Luba Verso) was presented by Dawn Bogorella (presented in transcript as 'Dawn Boglera/Bogorella'). The committee moved, seconded and approved the appointment.
The nominating committee unanimously nominated Scott Phelps to serve a third one‑year term as president pro tempore; trustees voted in favor and the nomination will proceed to final action by the full board later the morning of Sept. 12. The committee also nominated at‑large members for the executive committee and trustees approved nominations to serve on the public review committee and the executive committee as described in board materials.
The actions were procedural and passed by the board without recorded roll call in the transcript; terms and committee assignments will be reflected in the board roster and minutes.
