Mr. William B. (Bill) Stone, II ‘85
President, Auburn Alumni Association
It’s my great honor to serve you as president of the Auburn Alumni Association. The word “steward” is defined as “a person who manages another’s property or affairs; one who administers anything as the agent of another or others.” My friend, Auburn athletics director Jay Jacobs ’85, told me shortly after he accepted his position that his role was that of steward. Auburn University and the Auburn Tigers athletic program were here long before Jay and will be here long after. His goal was, and is, to help make our Auburn athletic program the best in the country. That’s what it means to be a steward.
I told Jay not long ago that I was going to steal his line. Like Jay, I see my role as your steward for the Auburn Alumni Association. Our association will continue to grow and to improve. It is said that the enemy of “better” is “best.” To be the best, we will continue to get better. Each day, one step at a time, getting better is our goal. To serve you better.
"I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work."
I currently serve as vice president of business development for Mayer Electric Supply Co. Inc.
"I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully."
I graduated in December 1985 from Auburn’s Samuel Ginn College of Engineering with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. I am a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. SigEp!
"I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men.
"I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports that develop these qualities.
"I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all. I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all."
I am resident of Signal Mountain, Tenn., and am the proud father of a 12-year-old son, William Bryan “Trey” Stone III. As many of you know, my wife and Trey’s mother, Lisa, passed away in July following a courageous and Christ-honoring fight with cancer. Lisa was not an Auburn graduate, but she was an Auburn lady. Lisa loved Auburn!
"I believe in my country, because it is a land of freedom and because it is my own home, and that I can best serve that country by “doing justly, loving mercy and walking humbly with my God.”
I came to Auburn University from Rainbow City, Ala., after graduating from Southside High School, largely because of a great Auburn man, Pete B. Turnham ’44, who served longer than any other person as a member of the Alabama House of Representatives. He served our country on the battlefield and in the statehouse. He still serves Auburn, and our God, humbly.
Your Auburn Alumni Association is one the largest, strongest, most awarded and respected alumni groups in the U.S. We are blessed with an incredible staff team led by Debbie Shaw, and our Auburn club network is a model program that other universities covet. We are one of the “best of the best.”
Please reach out to Debbie, her team, me or other members of the association’s board of directors. We want to know how we can serve you better and how to be better stewards of what has been built by Auburn legends: Roy B. Sewell ’22, Ben Gilmer ’26, Lloyd Nix ’59, Bob Word ’55, and some of my own mentors, Batey Gresham ’57, Ralph Jordan ’70, Nancy Young Fortner ’71 and Bobby Poundstone ’95, with whom it has been my pleasure to serve for the last two years.
"And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it."
War Eagle!
