Gov. Randy McNally.<\/p>\n<p>Wade, a 2004 UTC alumnus with a bachelor\u2019s degree in engineering management, was honored by the University in 2023 as its Distinguished Alumnus\u2014the highest annual award presented to a graduate. Over the course of his career, he has established himself as a forward-thinking executive whose leadership has helped shape Chattanooga\u2019s national reputation for innovation in technology and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are grateful to Lt. Gov. McNally for this outstanding appointment,\u201d UT Board of Trustees Chair John Compton said. \u201cDavid Wade brings a terrific blend of technical expertise, business leadership and public service to this role. He offers valuable insight into energy, infrastructure and technology, and this appointment helps ensure the Board reflects the broad range of experiences and perspectives that shape our state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wade began his college journey at UTC straight out of high school but left after one semester to join the workforce. In 1983, he was hired in an entry-level role assisting linemen at EPB\u2014formerly known as the Electric Power Board of Chattanooga. He worked his way up the organization while attending UTC at night, eventually earning his degree and becoming EPB\u2019s president and CEO in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDavid Wade is an extraordinary example of what it means to be a UTC graduate\u2014innovative, committed to service and a true community leader,\u201d UTC Chancellor Lori Mann Bruce said. \u201cHis appointment to the UT Board of Trustees strengthens the University of Tennessee System with real-world insight and deep-rooted commitment to public service. We\u2019re proud to count him among our alumni and grateful for the insight, integrity and expertise he brings to this important role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wade has remained closely connected to his alma mater, serving on the College of Engineering and Computer Science Advisory Board and championing initiatives that bridge innovation and community impact.<\/p>\n<p>Under his leadership, EPB has become a national model for municipal broadband and energy infrastructure. Wade played a key role in the development of Chattanooga\u2019s fiber optic network, which laid the groundwork for the nation\u2019s most advanced automated power distribution system. EPB has launched pioneering efforts like EPB Quantum\u2120 while making internet speeds up to 25 Gigs accessible across the Chattanooga area. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he spearheaded HCS EdConnect powered by EPB, a permanent initiative providing internet access at no charge to over 28,000 people in Hamilton County.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDavid has a proven record of community impact and vision, which make him a strong advocate for our UT System enterprise and for Tennessee,\u201d UT System President Randy Boyd said. \u201cAs an engineer, David brings an important perspective that reflects the broad strengths and future-forward direction of the university.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Wade, a University of Tennessee at Chattanooga graduate and the president and CEO of EPB, has been appointed to the University of Tennessee Board of Trustees by Lt.
