Dora Ann Verde named vice chair for TG board of directors

Round Rock, Texas — Dora Ann Verde, partner with the public accounting firm of Garza/Gonzalez & Associates in San Antonio, has been named vice chair of the board of directors for TG.

"Dora's expertise in working with the financial affairs of educational and governmental entities, along with her years of service to the greater community, has been a great benefit to TG and to the board," said Sue McMillin, TG president and CEO.

As vice chair of the board, Verde will provide leadership for one of the nation's largest guarantors, helping to ensure access to higher education for more than 350,000 students and families each year. TG currently guarantees more than $3 billion annually for student and parent borrowers through the Federal Family Education Loan Program.
