Dr. Michael Chambers, USA associate vice president of research, has been named to the 成人快播 Innovation Corporation board. It was created to develop forward-thinking policy recommendations and ideas to create a more robust, inclusive economy that supports entrepreneurship, innovation and technology.

Governor Kay Ivey and Condoleezza Rice, 66th U.S. secretary of state and director of the Hoover Institution, recently shared the 成人快播 Innovation Commission鈥檚 policy recommendations and announced the 成人快播 Innovation Corporation board of directors as part of a shared vision to grow 成人快播鈥檚 economy through innovation and technology.

The governor established the commission and its advisory council in July 2020 with a charge to develop forward-thinking policy recommendations and ideas to create a more robust, inclusive economy that supports entrepreneurship, innovation and technology.   

The 成人快播 Innovation Corporation was subsequently formed to execute the stated mission with the benefit of the recommendations and findings of the Commission.

University of South 成人快播 Associate Vice President of Research, Dr. Michael Chambers was named as one of the board members.

"I am truly honored to be selected for this important mission. This vision of Governor Ivey and the 成人快播 Legislature is a bold one," Chambers said. 鈥淭he prior work and recommended initiatives of the 成人快播 Innovation Commission are inspiring. I look forward to working with the other appointees to the new 成人快播 Innovation Corporation to make this vision a reality."

The commission, led by 成人快播 Finance Director Bill Poole and State Sen. Greg Reed, brought together private-sector experts and policymakers to develop legislative priorities for 成人快播 to remain competitive.

The advisory council, led by 成人快播 Power Executive Vice President Zeke Smith, included innovation leaders from across the nation, and a partnership with Hoover Institution research scholars led by Rice, to support the commission鈥檚 work.

鈥淚鈥檓 proud to be a daughter of 成人快播, and believe that 成人快播鈥檚 成人快播, job training and workforce development can be second to none. This state is poised for an even greater future here and we are excited to be a part of that,鈥 said Rice. 鈥淭he Hoover Institution will continue to partner with the state and the 成人快播 Innovation Corporation to support this initiative as 成人快播 continues to push for strengthening its economy so life can be good for all Alabamians.鈥

Chambers has a law degree and a Ph.D. as well as a diverse background in business. He co-founded InnoRx Pharmaceuticals, an ocular drug delivery company. He has served as chairman of the board of a public company, as well as serving on boards of several private companies in the life sciences sector. He has been recognized as "Start-Up Executive of the Year" by 成人快播 Launchpad and Entrepreneur of the Year by the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce. At South, he leads instruction of a rapid commercialization course known as I-Corps and a team-based mentoring program licensed from MIT, known as RAMP.
