I am pleased to congratulate Free State
Foundation Distinguished Adjunct Senior Fellow Deborah Taylor Tate on her appointment
by the Tennessee Supreme Court
to be Director of the Administrative Office of the Courts in Tennessee. Debi has
held many leadership positions during her extraordinary career. Of course, she
served as a distinguished FCC Commissioner. After leaving the FCC, Debi was
appointed a Special Envoy to the International Telecommunications Union and
Laureate for her work with child online protection issues. Moreover, Debi has
served the state of Tennessee in several capacities, including working with
both of Tennessee’s present U.S. Senators, Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker.
The Tennessee Supreme Court’s press release lists
many of Debi’s past positions, along with her many honors and distinctions.
I am delighted that Debi will be able
to continue in her position as a Distinguished Adjunct Senior Fellow with the Free State Foundation. I am grateful for Debi’s
many contributions to the work of the Free State Foundation, and I look forward
to her continuing contributions in the future.
This new undertaking by Debi is just a continuation
of her lifelong commitment and dedication to serve the people of her native state
of Tennessee and her country. I am proud that one of the ways Debi has chosen
to serve – and to continue her longstanding commitment to establishing sound
communications policy – is through her affiliation with FSF.
