Seven trustees govern the foundation, each appointed for seven years by the university's Association of Former Students.
Mays brings extensive corporate management experience to the board.
He is CEO of Clear Channel Communications Inc. in San Antonio, Texas. Mays founded Clear Channel in 1972 with the purchase of a financially troubled radio station. My goal as a foundation board member is to encourage others to help provide the funding for excellence and manage the existing assets for the long-term benefits of those programs. Mays is active in a variety of professional and civic activities. He is past chairman of the joint board of the National Association of Broadcasters and past chairman of United Way of San Antonio.
