  2. Don't leave out Belinda Shannon. She is an outstnading graduate of SBI and a Vice President at Glaxo Smith Kline in North Carolina. She and her husband Keith Shannon are die-hard Rattlers and supportive of FAMU. I think all of these persons are outstanding candidates for the Board.

  4. Don't know the others but Dent was one of the first great black pro golfers. Along there with Calvin Pete and long before Tiger. You can look him up in Google. His wife is a lawyer. They live in Tampa

  5. The three replacements should be Shannon, White and Dent.

    Shannon - corporate general counsel
    Dent - corporate CFO
    White - BOT - UMASS and chair of the UMASS Audit Committee; Wallstreet firm

  6. Does Robert Brown have a college degree? He is a consultant from North Carolina.

    Is this good for us?

    What about his status regarding current contracts with FAMU?

    Peeps this is not looking good!

    We definitely need an investor on the board. I've studied other university BOT members and most have an investor or two on the BOT. Does any of these folks know how to raise money for the school?

  12. Karl E. White is the most qualified! FAMU Needs a wall street background & someone with board experience at a successful university i.e. his UMASS Experience! We need the RattlerNation community to mass email the BOG and push his nomination! Buddy Fletcher founder of Fletcher Asset Management where Karl is the Chief Investment Officer gave 50 Million to Howard! We can begin to get Wall Street donors at FAMU!!!!! He is also alumni! Rattlers very critical nominee in Karl E. White!!! He needs our support right now!

  16. Endowments pay a 5% return to the investor. 50Million @ 5% is 2.5 Million a year for generations and its tax-deductible- has nothing to do with the school more with the Asset Management company i.e. Smith Barney, Merrill Lynch. We have the opportunity to bring an African American Investment Bank to provice diversity. To have a well-known african american wall street investment bank providing oversight to the foundation & school's budget it can bring credibility back to FAMU. There is no one on the BOT with a Wall Street background that understands finance. FAMU is still the crown jewel of HBCUs-Black Enterprise #1 college for African Americans. Whoever gets the credit for turning FAMU around will position themselves as a national leader with global influence. Just want investment bankers need! The problem with the Board of Trustees is that there was no real incentive for the school to work. Their careers for the most part did not hinge on the school being successful. Karl E. White is the 1st candidate where a successful tenure as a FAMU BOT leading a turnaround of the school's finances will add another dimension to his career. There has to be a motivating factor other than just loving FAMU to get talented & connected alumni to want to invest their careers into the institution.

  17. wrong Dent. Richard Dent III is not a golfer but a CFO for Limited. He is out of Philly where his dad is a big time preacher. He is more than qualified for our BOT.
