STARKVILLE — The Woman’s Club of Starkville kicked off 2025 by having Mississippi State Athletic Director Zac Selman speak at its Tuesday meeting held at the First Baptist Church.
President Anne Buffington opened the meeting and Sheila Rees introduced speaker Zac Selmon to the members who welcomed him by ringing their cowbells.
Selmon delivered an excellent presentation including information about his background and his calling to make a difference. He highlighted the personal importance of faith and family, and then he gave a thorough overview of Mississippi State Athletics by discussing some of the challenges they face, highlighting programs he has initiated, and mentioning proposed building plans. He also emphasized four foundational components for all athletic programs which were athlete graduation rates and careers, tools for life, transformational experiences, and winning athletic programs. He then graciously answered numerous questions from club members.
Hostesses for the January meeting were Beverly Jones, Patsy Stuart, Martha Ruth Parvin, and Christie Jones Lawrence.
