Tricia Keith, a Victory Township native, was appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder to the Central Michigan University Board of Trustees Wednesday.

Keith is the senior vice president and corporate secretary for Blue Cross Blue Shield and a 1989 graduate of Mason County Central High School. She replaces former trustee Marilyn French Hubbard on the eight-person board.

“Tricia brings great experience, and I am confident she will effectively serve the students, faculty and staff of Central Michigan University in this role,” Snyder said in a press release.

“We welcome Ms. Keith as a high-achieving alumna who brings outstanding leadership, deep community and professional insights, and a commitment to academic excellence,” CMU President George Ross said in a statement to cm-life.com.

She will serve an eight-year term that expires at the end of 2020.

Keith graduated from CMU in 1993 with a degree in German and political science.
