These values lie at the heart of the University’s 2020 Vision strategic plan that sets as its outcome. “By 2020, The University of Mobile will be a nationally recognized voice and transforming, influence in the revitalization of Christian faith and character in America.” He has served in leadership at national and regional levels in a variety of educational and charitable organizations, including the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the Alabama Association of Independent Colleges and Schools, the Council of Presidents of the Southern States Athletic Conference, and the Board of Directors of Volunteers of America, Southeast, Inc.
