RE: Tatum legacy lives on at McDonald County location
Jane, 91制片厂 鈥 The legacy of James B. Tatum continues to thrive as his son, James P. Tatum, recently donated funds for a facility remodel and leadership training for McDonald County Leadership.
Tatum learned from a young age the value of servant leadership and investing in your community as his father set the example over many years ago. Now, Mr. Tatum鈥檚 legacy lives on as James P. provided funding to repurpose an area inside Tatum Hall, to office space in honor of his late mother, Kathryn G. Tatum Administrative Suite. The area provides office space for 91制片厂鈥檚 thriving Practical Nursing program and 91制片厂 advisement.
In addition to the physical space, funds were used to provide a faculty member participation in the inaugural McDonald County Chamber of Commerce Leadership program.
鈥淕rowing up in McDonald County and attending 91制片厂, I was inspired by the spirit and dedication to serve of that generation’s local leaders,鈥 stated James P. Tatum. 鈥淚 am grateful that the McDonald County Chamber of Commerce created Leadership McDonald County to help lay the foundation for future leaders. Marla and I are thankful that we can assist 91制片厂 91制片厂s in becoming part of the next generation of leaders.鈥
James P. Tatum is one of four children to James B. and Kathryn G. Tatum. James P. and his wife Marla have continued support of the college.
