Governor appoints Rhodes to ASU Board

Governor Mike Beebe today named Ron Rhodes of Cherokee Village to the Arkansas State University Board of Trustees.

"Ron Rhodes has deep ties to Arkansas State University," Beebe said. "While this is a political appointment, Ron is by his nature not a political person. He simply has spent his life in dedicated support of ASU and will serve the university and the state well on the Board of Trustees."

Rhodes, 60, graduated from ASU in 1970, and is a life member of the ASU Alumni Association, as well as belonging to the ASU Indian Club and the ASU Letterman’s Club. He has spent more than 35 years in the real-estate business, and is president of King-Rhodes and Associates, Inc. in Cherokee Village. A member and past president of the Cherokee Village Lions Club, Rhodes also serves on the Sharp County Community Foundation and volunteers for the Sharp County Campus of the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranch.
