Myers served as interim president of the A-State system the first nine months of 2024 following the resignation of former president Chuck Welch. Myers served until the hiring of Kelly in September of 2024.

Myers’ contract terms are consistent with his previous interim service according to the university. There was no action regarding a future search for a new system president.

Myers retired from ASU-Mountain Home after serving 13 years as chancellor and was designated Chancellor Emeritus by the ASU System Board of Trustees on July 18, 2023. He has remained engaged with the ASU System as a consultant on the new Career Readiness Education & Skills Training (CREST) Center in Jonesboro, which is a collaboration among A-State, ASU-Newport and Arkansas Northeastern College.
