Appointed by the Governor

When the Local Oversight Committee was formed in 1991, the first board members–County Executives of Anderson, Roane, Meigs, and Rhea counties and the Mayor of the City of Oak Ridge–were appointed by then-Governor Ned McWherter.В  Since then, the LOC has expanded to represent Knox, Loudon, and Morgan counties and has added representatives from Oak Ridge Environmental Quality Advisory Board, Roane County Environmental Review Board, and LOC’s Citizens’ Advisory Panel (formed in 1994).

The LOC welcomes the new County Mayors and County Executives elected in August 2010 who will serve on the LOC Board.В  In the tradition of the original board, they are “Appointed by the Governor” to this position.

Our new Board members will be:

  • Roane County – Ron Woody
  • Knox County – Tim Burchett
  • Loudon County – Estelle Herron
  • Morgan County – Don Edwards
  • Meigs County – Garland Lankford
  • Rhea County – George Thacker
