Eugene Edward Stanaland[1] (born August 30, 1934[2]) is the current treasurer and director at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, a board member of Huntingdon College, former Auburn, Alabama city council president, former public speaker, and former head of economics at Auburn University.

Early life and education[edit]

Stanaland graduated from Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School in 1952, and played on the football team.[3][4] He graduated from Huntingdon College in 1960.[5] He received his MBA and Ph.D from the University of Alabama,[6][7] completing his dissertation, An economic analysis of the occupation license fee and property tax equalization as alternative sources of revenue for urban centers : a case study, in 1972.[8][9]

Career[edit]

Stanaland rose to the rank of Marine Corps Sergeant,[10] serving for three years during the Korean War.[11]

He was president of the city council in Auburn after being elected in 1972.[12] As a council president, he advocated for a 9-man city council and cooperation among officials.[13] He ran again in 1976, running on examples of economic growth seen in the city throughout his 1972 term, including school funds increasing by 112 percent.[14] He would end up losing his bid for re-election in 1976.[15]

At the same time that he was president of the city council, he was also chair of the Auburn University Senate.[16]

Huntingdon College honored Stanaland with its Alumni Loyalty Award in 2002.[17] He has served on that college's board of trustees since 1991 and as of 2024, serves on its Emeriti Board.[5] In 2019, he was commemorated with the naming of the Phyllis and Eugene Stanaland Building, its name later shortened to the Phyllis and Gene Stanaland House.[18][19]

In 2014[20] through at least 2018, he served on the advisory board for the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art.[21]

Currently, he serves as board treasurer of the Alabama Shakespeare Festival[22][23] and is Senior Vice Commandant for Auburn's Billy Stelpflug Detachment of the Marine Corps League.[24][25]

Economics career[edit]

Stanaland served as a professor of economics at Auburn University for over 20 years from 1960 to 1981.[11] He participated in research on topics such as economic cost-benefit planning and breaking the pattern of poverty inheritance.[26] In 1977, he discussed the film, The Free State of Winston, a documentary about the Republic of Winston, alongside H. Brandt Ayers, James Dickey, Paul Hemphill, and Kenneth E. Boulding.[27]

Stanaland was the head of the economics department from 1972 to 1980,[28] and the head of the geography department[29] before becoming a public speaker,[30] he founded Gene Stanaland Enterprises, LLC, an economics and management consulting firm.[31][32][33]

In public speaking, he was commonly known as the "Will Rogers of Economics"[34] and included elements of humor when speaking.[35] He spoke at the Auburn Rotary Club,[36] Auburn University,[37] Brooks International,[38] the 2003 Radio Advertising Bureau’s Sales, Marketing & Leadership Conference,[39] and Saginaw Valley State University[40] among many other conferences and gatherings.

In 1990, he predicted the housing market to grow by 3.6 to 3.9 percent.[41]

Personal life[edit]

Stanaland was born in New York City, New York.[11] He is married to Phyllis Stanaland.[20] He was honored with the City of Auburn's Distinguished Veteran Award on 27 May 2024.[10][42][43][44]
