Richmond Attorney Michael Eaves is the new chair of the Eastern Kentucky University Board of Regents. He chaired his first board meeting earlier this month. Eaves said he was surprised to be asked to lead the board, but very much excited about that role. The 1975 EKU graduate noted one ongoing challenge is to develop a closer relationship with the city of Richmond. Eaves added as the university thrives, so thrives the city.
“When the university has events like the All A Classic and 40,000 people come to town, that’s a big deal for Eastern, it’s a great big deal for the city,” said Eaves.
