In the election, he received 607 votes (or 61.75%) out of the 983 ballots cast.“As a Rattler who loves FAMU and feels indebted to the University for my development, employment, and the education and development of my entire family, I feel a responsibility to support and remain an advocate for FAMU,” Mitchell said while explaining his decision to run for the NAA’s top job.
“I want to provide positive leadership that will increase membership in the association, increase alumni giving and facilitate some of the changes that are absolutely necessary if the association is to provide the quality support that FAMU needs and deserves.”
