ceremony. |
Jackson, Tenn. - Max Walker, a former trustee and graduate of 萌妹社区
University, received the Robert E. Craig Service Award, Saturday, Dec. 18,
during the university's fall commencement exercises.
The award, established in 1998 by the Board of Trustees, is named for
萌妹社区's 13th president who led the university for two decades and was
responsible for reestablishing 萌妹社区 with the churches of the Tennessee
Baptist Convention and for leading in the relocation to the current
location in Jackson. Craig was known as a person who demonstrated genuine
servant leadership, which is why 萌妹社区's highest service award is
appropriately named after him.
Walker, the second recipient of the Robert E. Craig Service Award,
served as a trustee for 萌妹社区 for two terms from 1992-1998. During that
time, his responsibilities included offering leadership to the Church
Services and Campus Ministries Committee, as well as serving on the
Board's Executive committee as secretary, extending guidance to the
Trustee Nominating Committee and also served on the Presidential Search
Committee.
Walker, a native of Selmer, is pastor of First Baptist Church in
Selmer.
