From the meeting
The board named Chris Cheatham as Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost and Carlos Rodriguez as Senior Vice President for Budget and Finance and Chief Financial Officer. Both roles were effective or set to be effective subject to contract execution, with Rodriguez starting October 1, 2026. These are buying triggers because new academic and finance leadership can shift budgeting, modernization priorities, and upcoming procurement plans.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
