General Assembly, Confirmation of Appointment - Dakasha Winton, Tennessee State University Board of Trustees -

House Joint Resolution 160 confirms Governor Bill Lee's appointment of Dakasha Winton to the Tennessee State University Board of Trustees. The resolution formally approves her service for a term ending March 31, 2028, as required by Tennessee law (TCA §49-8-201), which mandates legislative confirmation for governor-appointed board members. Winton, a TSU alum and current BlueCross BlueShield executive, previously served on the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. This is a procedural resolution confirming an existing appointment, not a policy change.
