CLARKESVILLE, Ga. — North Georgia Technical College has recognized Board of Trustees member and former Foundation Board chairman David Tinsley for his years of leadership and service to the school’s foundation.
Tinsley, a retired Methodist minister from Sharp Memorial United Methodist Church in Young Harris, completed his term on the NGTC Foundation Board in December. He served on the board from 2019 to 2025 and held the chairmanship in 2023 and 2024.
College leaders credited Tinsley with strengthening community support for students, guiding scholarship investment strategies as a member of the Foundation’s investment committee, and championing access to technical education. He also led the board during the launch of the 1943 Gala in 2023, the Foundation’s first fundraising event, which has since become a signature annual celebration.
“We are so grateful for David’s leadership and the countless ways he has contributed to the mission of North Georgia Technical College,” said Amy Hulsey, vice president of institutional advancement and marketing and executive director of the NGTC Foundation. “His servant’s heart and passion for helping others have made an incredible difference in the lives of our students.”
Tinsley’s tenure included overseeing fundraising efforts and helping ensure the Foundation’s donor and scholarship investments remain strong for future generations.
The college thanked Tinsley for what it described as a “faithful commitment” to NGTC and its students.
