Chancellor’s Associates New Member Nomination
The Chancellor’s Associates program brings together local business and community leaders to learn more about the university, provide feedback to university administration on an array of important topics, and serve as key advocates and supporters to enhance the university’s reputation in the greater-Knoxville area and beyond. The Chancellor’s Associates program began in 1972, and since that time, the university and the community have greatly benefited from the relationships developed through this program.
Important information to consider as you prepare to nominate someone:

- You will be asked to enter additional supporting information on the next step of this form, which includes information about your nominee’s current and past involvement with UT and Knoxville-area business/community organizations. It may be helpful to gather this information in a Word document and copy and paste your responses into the form.
