The LSU Alumni Association Board of Directors today announced that Gordon Monk has been named president and CEO of the association effective immediately.
Monk has served as interim president and CEO since October 2019, when former CEO Cliff Vannoy retired.
“Gordon Monk is one of those rare individuals who has a mind for business but also brings a calming presence to the Alumni Association,” says Jeffrey Mohr, board chair, in a prepared statement. “He has encountered every scenario imaginable during his career in state government, and the board believes Gordon is a sincere, genuine individual of integrity. We are very fortunate to have someone like him lead the LSU Alumni Association.”
Monk came to the association after 33 years at the Legislative Fiscal Office, serving in various roles before he was elected legislative fiscal officer by the Louisiana Legislature in 2005.
A longtime active member of the association, he holds two degrees from LSU, a bachelor’s in general studies and a master’s in public administration. He serves on the LSU Public Administration Advisory Board and is a member of the LSU Foundation and Tiger Athletic Foundation.
