“We’re excited to welcome back Tracee to the NAADA Board of Directors,” said Paula Beecher, president of the association. “Her experience and perspective will be a valuable asset to our leadership team. Our Board represents a wide range of institutions and backgrounds, and this diversity strengthens our ability to serve the agricultural and life sciences community through education, engagement and support.”

Murph, who has been involved with NAADA since 2011, brings more than a decade of service and leadership to the national organization. Over the years, she has served on several committees, including Publications and Projects, Education, and the Rebranding Ad Hoc Committee.

Murph joined the Davis College Development & Alumni Relations Office in 2010 and was named coordinator of alumni relations the following year before advancing to her current position. A Texas Tech graduate, she earned a bachelor’s degree in agricultural communications with a minor in animal science and a certificate in equine science.

Under her leadership, Davis College has received multiple NAADA Publications & Projects awards, and in 2011 the college hosted NAADA’s national conference – highlighting Texas Tech’s continued role as a hub for agricultural innovation and alumni engagement.

Founded in 1975, NAADA provides education, advocacy, and professional development for individuals advancing agricultural, environmental, and life sciences programs across the country. Its members represent land-grant universities and other institutions committed to supporting the next generation of agricultural leaders.
