Involvment: Student Government Association (Student Senator, Speaker Pro Tem, Vice President)

The administration of Nick Bertram saw immense change and modernization within EKU's SGA. After seven drafts, Bertram offered the Board of Regents a proposal for reoganization that would see three campus entities merged with the Student Government. The Residence Hall Association would become the Residence Life Council, and the First Weekend Committee alongside Center Board would become the Student Activies Council. Each branch would be led by an elected Vice President, and the position of the original Vice President was renamed to Executive Vice President. In addition, the Student Body President would no longer be a voting member of the Student Senate, and would hand over the leadership of the body to the Executive Vice President. 

Following graduation, Bertram worked for Walmart for quite some time, beginning with his college job as a part-time stocker. He would rise through the ranks of leadership, eventually becoming Regional General Manager for the greater Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. He would then become Senior Vice President of Retail for supermarket chain, Jewel-Osco, as well as Senior Vice President of Merchandising for Ahold Delhaize. He would then be made President of GIANT Food, a subsidiary chain of supermarkets owned by Ahold Delhaize. Currently, Bertram is President and COO of Flashfood, a grocery pick-up service.
