From Pam Young:
The Office of the President invites the University community to a “thank you” reception honoring Freman Hendrix, chief government relations officer for EMU, Monday, June 8, 5-7 p.m., Room 300, Student Center.
An EMU alumnus, Hendrix has helped the University strengthen its position in Lansing for the past three years. Hendrix is leaving EMU to take on new and different responsibilities focused on the city of Detroit and Southeast Michigan. Refreshments will be served. RSVPs are not necessary.
So, I wonder what Hendrix is doing next, and I wonder who is going to take over Hendrix’s job?
I read in the paper at least a month ago that Hendrix is member of one of Bing’s management teams. Opens up an interesting opportunity for certain Regents to put in their own person for this job. Why not screw up governmental relations. They’ve already screwed up the Foundation Management team, Lopnow excepted. Why not give Freeman an Alumni Achievement Award for collecting a paycheck from the institution!
