More than 400 LEAD candidates have found positions throughout the North Texas region. Alums of LEAD are employed with members and non-members of LEAD. Mark McClendon, Tarrant County College District Vice Chancellor of Finance hosted a meeting for Alums to share ideas on shaping the future of LEAD. While all Alums are interesting in positioning themselves for advancement, the group settled on three topics of common interest that would benefit Alums at all levels. Three task forces were formed to address executive level career advancement, strategic networking and professional development. McClendon will lead the advancement task force. The networking initiative will be led by F.W. Metropolitan YMCA HR Vice President Ken Reeves. JPS’VP & Chief Diversity Officer Dresdene Flynn-White leads the development team.
