Hollis Towns for President of the FVSU National Alumni Association
Bold leadership and
real results.
From corporate boardrooms to community halls, I’ve spent 30+ years leading transformational change.
Now it's time to bring that energy home to our alumni association.
As graduates, we are a force. We should be FVSU's most powerful external advocates.
For scholarships. For athletics. For governance. For all that FVSU needs and deserves.
Why me and why now
Why am I running for president of our beloved FVSU National Alumni Association?
Fort Valley State gave me my foundation.
This campaign is about giving something back — and building something that lasts for every Wildcat who comes after us.
What you can expect
I know what leadership looks like — and more than that, I know what leadership in ACTION truly means. In leading our alumni association, you can count on me to focus on:
• Financial Strength
• Strategic Influence
• Alumni Connections
• Accountability

4. STRATEGIC INFLUENCE
Our graduates deserve a seat at every table that matters in Georgia. We will strengthen strategic relationships with legislators, state officials, and business leaders to leverage the power of thousands of Wildcats.
