In making the announcement, President and CEO of the SWGSB Foundation Dr. S.

“In making its 2006
selection, the SWGSB Alumni Association Board considered many leadership
attributes. One man possessed all of those attributes in abundance:
Gayle Earls. What's more, Gayle's career has been a model for the
industry's top performers. Through his outstanding leadership, TIB has

industry. The School's students, faculty, staff, and board of trustees
proudly salute him on this very special occasion.”
