This week, FAMU’s Board of Trustees will approve Suggs as its second Director of Athletics to ever oversee the entire department.
Florida A&M University (FAMU) is set to approve a contract for Angela Suggs, the executive director of the Florida Sports Foundation, as its next vice president and director of athletics.
Suggs’ close connection to the Florida HBCU dates back well before her educational and professional ventures at the university. When the institution operated its on-campus hospital, Sugg was the first person to be born inside the Foote-Hilyer Administration Building. Being at FAMU was a routine for the young Rattler, who attended the school since elementary school and remained throughout her college years, where she graduated with her bachelor’s in economics.
The athletics director completed her master’s degree at St. Thomas University and has become affiliated with several organizations that include the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators National Association of Athletic Development Directors, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Jack & Jill of America, Inc., The Florida Historic Capitol Museum Board of Directors and the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital Foundation Board of Trustees.
As an experienced sports executive, she maintains an extensive network of local and national business, community, and political leaders.
