Chip Morgan has been the executive vice president of the Delta Council for over four decades. At the 2018 Delta Council meeting, long-time friend and former Delta Council president, Dick Flowers, said in his remarks celebrating Morgan’s career, “Chip is a master of guiding people to positive outcomes - often leaving no footprints.”

Also celebrated at the meeting held June 1 on the campus of Delta State University in Cleveland, Miss., were the educational achievements of over 300 high-school students from public, private, and parochial schools, whose efforts prove they merit the accolades given by Dr. Alfred Rankins Jr., president, Alcorn State University, and commissioner-elect for the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Education, and Mississippi State Sen. Briggs Hopson, vice-chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee and a member of the Universities and Colleges Committee.
