Governor Eric Greitens announced a new member to the Missouri State University Board of Governors. The new member is Amelia (Amy) Counts, of Ballwin, Missouri.

“We’re very pleased to welcome Amy to the Missouri State Board of Governors,” said Missouri State President Clif Smart. “She was very involved as a student at Missouri State and continues to be involved in the university. Her enthusiasm and energy will be a great addition to the board.”

Counts said she’s looking forward to joining the board.

“I had a wonderful college experience at Missouri State,” said Counts. “I’m excited for the opportunity to help lead my alma mater.”

Counts’ term begins immediately

Counts will replace Steve Hoven as the 2nd District representative. Hoven’s term ended on Jan. 1.

“Steve has been a dedicated member of the board,” said Board Chair Virginia Fry. “We’ll miss Steve, but look forward to welcoming Amy.”

Counts is a senior account executive with Wise F&I managing 12 western states. She has more than 20 years of experience in the automotive industry working for The Reynolds and Reynolds Company, RouteOne and Maritz.

Counts serves on the board of St. Louis ArtWorks, an organization working to broaden educational and career opportunities for youth in the St. Louis region through apprenticeships in the arts and through community collaborations.

Counts has a bachelor’s degree in hospitality administration from Missouri State, where she served as president of Delta Zeta sorority, president of Order of Omega, vice president and treasurer of Panhellenic and was inducted into the Student Involvement Hall of Fame. She currently serves on the St. Louis MaroonNation Ball committee, a fundraising event held annually.
