 Morrow, Ga., May 2, 2008 –
The Clayton State University Alumni Association
Board of Directors recently announced the appointment of
Stacey Rivers to its Board of Directors.
Rivers, from McDonough, GA, is a
2005 graduate from Clayton State, with a B.A.S. in
Technology Management. She currently is employed by
Turner Entertainment Networks and was the Network
Manager for TBS Broadcast Operations since February
2005. Rivers was named the 2007 Clayton State
Outstanding Alumnus from the College of Professional
Studies.
"I am extremely excited to have
been asked to serve on the Clayton Alumni Association
Board of Directors, said Rivers. “Our University is
really on the move and to have the opportunity to
serve--and to give back--in this capacity is an honor.”
As the Network Manager for TBS, which includes four
domestic feeds (TBS East, TBS West, TBS HD, and
Peachtree TV), she managed a staff of over 30 people,
including eight supervisors in a 24-hour operation.
Earlier this year, Rivers was
selected to participate in a new pilot program in the
company’s Technology, Strategy and Operations division
(TS&O). The Pilot TS&O Leadership Rotation program
offers a small number of high-potential employees to
step into a new role in a complementary area in order to
acquire a deeper knowledge of TBS, Inc.
She began her assignment in
February of 2008 as Manager of Broadcast Operations
for Turner Studios where she will act as a logistical
liaison between Turner Studios and Network Operations.
In 2006, Rivers was selected as
a "Rising Leader" for the Women in Cable
Telecommunications Organization. This is a national
program in which only 40 women were selected,
representing the up and coming leaders in the cable
industry. In 2007 she was invited to join the Sigma Beta
Delta Honor Society – Troy University Chapter. And in
February of this year, Rivers, along with 6 other
employees from Turner Broadcasting, was recognized as a
“Modern Day Technology Leader” at the 2008 Black
Engineer of the Year STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math) Conference held in Baltimore,
Maryland.
The Clayton State Alumni
Association is a non-profit, dues-paying membership
organization representing the best interests and
traditions of Clayton State University and its alumni.
The current Board consists of 10 Directors, who help
lead the Association in planning events, fundraising and
remaining connected with alumni and friends. |
