“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Thomas May on receiving the University of Arkansas System President's Medal for Service. This award is given by the school's president and cabinet to recognize those who have committed to helping the UA System through their time, knowledge, and philanthropy. Tommy May has long been a resident of the Fourth Congressional District and was previously the president and CEO of Simmons Bank. Mr. May is also the only person in Arkansas history to have served as both chairman of the board and acting president of the University of Arkansas System. His contributions to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff have led to growth, development, and successes at both institutions. Mr. May is a dedicated leader, and his service shows how much wise stewardship can accomplish in the lives of others. Tommy has been an inspiration to many as he continues to serve others and make a difference in many lives, all while dealing with ALS in his own life. I take this time to congratulate Tommy May once again on this tremendous honor and thank him for his tremendous courage and service to our district and our State. ____________________”
