Sandra Cheffer has moved from the Ozark campus of Arkansas Tech University to the main campus in Russellville, where she will serve as the director of budget and financial reporting. She will manage a four-person staff responsible for the budget of the state’s third-largest university by enrollment.
Cheffer served as chief financial officer for ATU-Ozark, the technical campus of the university, for the past 13 years and believes her years of experience at the university will be useful in her new role. “Because I have 13 years of experience at Arkansas Tech, I have already been exposed to the university systems and processes, and I understand how the institution works,” she said. Before becoming CFO at ATU-Ozark, she worked for 14 years in accounting and finance in the private sector.
Cheffer has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois, and an MBA from Olivet Nazarene University in Kankakee, Illinois.
Sabrenna Rodgers-Lee, director of finance for the College of Social Sciences & Communication at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, was elected president of the Arkansas Council of Women in Higher Education.
Adrienne Griffis has been hired as an associate attorney at Dover Dixon Horne in Little Rock. Griffis previously worked at Kamps & Stotts, where she was an associate attorney.
Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge has been selected by her colleagues to serve as the vice chairwoman of the National Association of Attorneys General Southern Region.
