Dr. Walter Roettger, president of Lyon College, has appointed a new class to the Board of Church Advocates.

The Board of Church Advocates is an advisory board to the president of Lyon College, with the responsibility for nurturing the relationship between Lyon College and institutions of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), including the Synod of the Sun.

Its charge is twofold. First, the board is to advise the president on issues that are relevant to the College’s mission in church-related higher education and its relationship with institutions of the Church. Secondly, the board is to interpret and articulate the mission and current priorities of the College to the presbyteries and churches of the Synod, and to serve as ambassadors for the College.

New members of the class of 2010 include: Bill Bailey of Hot Springs Village, Ark.; Cecelia Blasier of Little Rock; Ellen Case of Batesville; Dennis and Emily Faulk of Hot Springs Village, Ark.,; Wayne and Mary Ann Glenn of Little Rock; Sam and Beth Highsmith of Little Rock; Scott and Patricia Howard of Tumbling Shoals; Robert and Debbie Murphy of Little Rock; Gail Perkins of Little Rock; David and Patty Schaller of Jonesboro; Christy Schuchardt of Little Rock; Clay and Penny Sloan of Walnut Ridge; Paula Thompson of Jonesboro; and Carol P. Williams of Little Rock.

The board will meet in Little Rock, on Sept. 13 and on campus on March 11 and 12. For more information, please contact Claudia Marsh, director of church relations, at (870) 793-1767 or at CMarsh@lyon.edu.
