TIAA Elects Officers at Annual Meeting
The TI Alumni Association convened for the 11th annual
business meeting on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 in the TI Foundation
Auditorium at The University of Texas at Dallas.
The following officers were elected:
President - Betty Purkey
Executive VP - Larry James
Secretary - Marilyn Adams
Treasurer - Gary Stopani
The new officers will begin one-year terms July 1.
Dr. David E. Daniel, president of The University of
Texas at Dallas, welcomed TIAA to the campus and told how UT Dallas is
growing into a great research university with continued support from
Texas Instruments. (See

to Dr. Daniel’s presentation.)
The first building was dedicated in 1964 on a 1,200-acre
campus in Richardson, made possible by donations from the TI-GSI
Foundation and the TI Founders’ families.
As a consequence of TI’s decision to build a
state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Richardson (the RFAB), UT
Dallas received $300 million from the State of Texas, the UT System and
other entities.
Some of these funds were used to build the Natural
Science and Engineering Research Laboratory at the university, which
opened in 2007. About 40 TIAA members toured the NSERL building after
the meeting.
Ronnie Brandenburg, outgoing TIAA president, reported on
TIAA accomplishments and upcoming programs. (See
Media
sidebar link to Ronnie’s presentation.)
TIAA members attending the annual meeting were able to
view an exhibit of TI Founder Cecil Green’s photos and memorabilia that
TI is donating to UT Dallas. The collection will hang in the Eugene
McDermott Library.
