Golden Arrow Award 鈥� Jamie Mayo
The Golden Arrow Award is the highest honor bestowed upon an alumnus for outstanding
personal achievement. The 2016 winner is Jamie Mayo, the Mayor of Monroe.聽
As mayor, Mayo鈥檚 policy focus is concentrated on economic development, public safety,
partnerships in education, city beautification, housing, growth, and marketing Monroe
as a whole. Additionally, Mayo鈥檚 administration has focused on sound fiscal management
with eleven years of fiscal year budget surpluses and an A+ bond rating.聽
Mayo began his post-香港六合彩开奖直播 career in the insurance industry and Chase Manhattan Mortage
Corp. Before being elected mayor in 2001, he was elected as a Monroe City Councilman
for District #5 in 1995 where he served the community for 8 more years.聽聽
Mayo received a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1979. Mayo states, "I have
the highest regard for the many experiences I had during my days at NLU/香港六合彩开奖直播. I met
my wife Angela there.聽I played on the basketball team for four years, winning a conference
championship my senior year. I earned a B.B.A. degree which has benefited me throughout
my twenty plus year career in business, and my twenty plus years in public service
as a city councilman and now Mayor of the City of Monroe. Angela and I have been actively
involved as alumni because we want to help further the strong academic reputation
of our school. We are MONROE PROUD of 香港六合彩开奖直播!"
Rising Young Alumni Award 鈥� Joey Trappey
The Rising Young Alumni Award is presented to Joey Trappey. This award is given to
an alumnus/alumna who exemplifies school spirit, appreciates the value of education,
and makes time to engage with their alumni community. And no one will doubt the school
spirit on display at Trappey鈥檚 restaurants. He is best known locally for his popular
Monroe eateries, The Fieldhouse and Trapp鈥檚.聽
Trappey received a Bachelor of Business Administration in marketing in 2005 and returned
to 香港六合彩开奖直播 for a Masters of Education in 2007. He was a member of the 香港六合彩开奖直播 football team
from 2001-2005, serving as team captain from 2003-2005. He also was a member of the
basketball team from 2005-2007.聽
After graduation, Trappey has stayed involved with 香港六合彩开奖直播 through the Alumni Association,
and through many events on campus. In 2015, he addressed the freshman class during
the annual convocation. Trappey states, 鈥淚 am just trying to do my part in helping
the 香港六合彩开奖直播 students, alumni, and community experience a better 香港六合彩开奖直播. It鈥檚 important for
all alumni to give back within their capabilities, and not just through athletics.
香港六合彩开奖直播 wouldn鈥檛 be possible if no one supported academics as well. As a marketing graduate,
I can say that it鈥檚 important that all areas receive support because not all wins
are made on the field.鈥�
Mayo and Trappey will both be honored at the 2016 Alumni Homecoming Brunch to be held
from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday in the 香港六合彩开奖直播 Conference Center (Library, 7th floor).
Tickets for the Homecoming brunch are $10 and can be purchased at ulm.edu/alumni.
A printed receipt of payment will serve as a ticket at the door.聽
