By Ray Bassett

Published July 29, 2025 at 7:37 PM EDT

Ken Jones has worked at EPB here in Chattanooga for nearly twenty-five years - and recently, he was promoted to Senior Director of Business Services.

Here on our campus - the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga - he’s earned an MBA and a degree in entrepreneurship, taught as an adjunct professor, served as president of the Chattanooga chapter of the UTC Alumni Board, and joined us on air at WUTC during a few of our pledge drives.

This fall, Ken is suiting up for “Dare to Dance” - for the Kidney Foundation of Greater Chattanooga - on Saturday, October 25th at the Chattanooga Convention Center.
