The Scott L. Probasco, Jr., Distinguished Chair of Free Enterprise (Probasco Chair) recently appointed Kim Holder as the managing director of the Center for Economic Education at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Ms. Holder’s experience includes 15 years in academia, during which she has served as an economics lecturer and financial literacy program director, among other roles.

Prior to her role with the CEE, Ms. Holder spent 10 years at the University of West Georgia, where she served as the director of financial literacy for the Office of the Provost, as well as the director of UWG’s Center for Economic Education and Financial Literacy. 

“I’ve known Kim for many years, and I’ve seen the impact of her work firsthand,” said Dr.
Claudia W. Kramer, UTC’s Probasco chair. “Not only is she widely respected for her contributions to scholarly research and economic education regionally and nationally, but she also has a proven track record of growing and building on a successful program like the one we’re working to advance here at UTC. We are fortunate to have her business acumen and passion for economics on our team.” 

Since her appointment earlier this year, Ms. Holder has worked to familiarize herself with existing CEE programming, while applying her experience to plan for new initiatives in 2025.

“It’s been a pleasure getting reconnected with campus, as well as the Chattanooga community as a whole,” Ms. Holder said. “Financial literacy and economic impact are universal topics that the CEE looks forward to making available to business leaders, educators, their students and anyone looking to understand current topics in economics all across the region.”
