Vance, a 1987 graduate of Transylvania, chairs the university’s Academic Affairs Committee and serves on its Executive Committee. He is also a member of Stoll Keenon Ogden PLLC, a Lexington law firm where he serves on the board of directors and executive committee.

His commitment to Transylvania reflects a broader engagement with the university’s mission. Vance appears on the President’s Circle Honor Roll, which recognizes donors who contributed $1,000 or more to the university during the fiscal year.
