Message from JSUNAA President
As your new President of the Jackson State University National Alumni Association, Inc., it is my privilege to greet you on my first official day in office. Today is like the first day on any job I have ever undertaken. I took a deep breath and walked into my office with a smile on my face - a smile that speaks to how elated I am to serve YOU, the office from which I will serve you for the next two years.
Jackson State University is a vibrant community with a rich heritage and exciting future, affording its graduates to be rich in resources. In the past, popular perception was that quantity rather than quality was all that mattered to many Americans. Whether that was ever really true is debatable, but the reality is that these days, nothing could be further from the truth. While we would love to boast about quantity, we are here to provide you with quality service and continued development of our organization into the strongest that it’s ever been.
Today, Jacksonians have greater expectations than those that preceded them. Most are very knowledgeable of the world, its many cultures and how they fit in to our culture. We all expect life to be flavorful, authentic and, most of all, enjoyable. To meet those expectations, many organizations have had to re-think many of their operations and JSUNAA, Inc. is no exception. As promised, the Executive Committee is committed to doing its part in making this a greater Association.
As we strive to deliver the T.O.T.A.L. Package, we will keep you informed to happenings around Jackson State University and its alumni. We will work with you to find ways to raise funds to support our operations and programs. We are here for J-S-YOU! Join Us Today!
Sincerely,
Terry L. Woodard
President

What supporters are saying about Terry Woodard...
"The time for change is NOW and it is obvious to me now more than ever, the change must include the Jackson State University National Alumni Association (JSUNAA). As we embark on the upcoming election, it will be instrumental for the leadership of the JSUNAA to be competent, courageous, technologically savvy, tactful and most importantly committed to JSU. Because Terry Woodard has always exhibited these characteristics and gone beyond the call of duty, serving with JSU’s best interest at heart, it is without reservation that I endorse Mr. Woodard for the position of President of the JSUNAA." -- Tiffany C. Carter, JSU Cyber Plaza Creator
"It is important to continue a legacy of excellence. JSUNAA has a long history of competent leaders, and Terry Woodard is ready to continue the legacy. We all know that JSU graduates are the leaders for the city, state, country, and world. Terry has the experience leaders are made of: serving on national boards, holding national offices, charting the course as an alumni chapter president, and working with local chapters in his area, be it in Texas, Georgia, or Mississippi.
Experience is important, but without integrity, dedication, and a plan for success, it is worthless. Mr. Woodard has demonstrated from his past, and now as he campaigns for the office of president of JSUNAA, that he is unorthodox, technologically savvy, determined, committed, and hard working. He knows how to build a quality team to get the job done, because he has proven to be trustworthy. Being selected as the alumnus of the year at a young age, denotes he is a man of character, integrity, and true blue to JSU. His positive influence has affected many others. I fully support and endorse, Terry Woodard for President of the JSUNAA. Let the legacy continue!" --Earlexia M. Norwood, M.D., Physician-in-Charge, Henry Ford Medical Center-Troy
