Mr. Stuckert, chair ofthe committee, reported that the search committee had been very
active since the last board meeting. He thanked everyone who had helped them with their
activities and expressed particular appreciation to Ms. Peggy Way for keeping the activities
flowing. Next, he announced that Ms. Curris and Ms. May would conduct a presidential tour of
the Commonwealth and requested that they describe their upcoming activities.
Ms. Curris discussed a chart that she had given board members called the University of
Kentucky Presidential Tour ofthe Commonwealth. The background of this project is that in
200l a similar tour was conducted by the Board and the search committee across the
Commonwealth in order to keep citizens updated as to what was happening during the process of
choosing a new president. She and Ms. May will likewise conduct a similar tour during this
search process in which they will share with Kentuckians what is going on and at the same time
engender any comments that they would like to have brought back to the board. Ms. Curris
showed a map with Kentucky divided into five regions, which were detennined with the help of
UK Public Relations personnel as being central to and inclusive ofthe regions. Dr. Lee Meyer
ofthe search committee has contributed the services ofthe Agricultural Extension Center to
collect data in each county on local groups’ availability for meeting with the search team. In
addition, Mr. Stan Key will engage the electronic services of his alumni database to help get the
message out to alumni about the tour. Meetings will be planned, two per day, for the month of
