The governor is a member of the academy.
This year’s inductees are former Congressman Robert “Bud” Cramer Jr.; retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Edward F. Crowell; Warren B. Lightfoot, a retired courtroom lawyer, sculptor and lecturer; business leader and corporate executive Harris V. Morrissette; and John M. Turner Jr., chairman, president and CEO of Regions Financial Corp.
The program is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. CDT. Jo Bonner will deliver the keynote address.
