Thank you, Jan Norton, for the invitation to speak to your “93 Club” of The Woman’s Club of Fort Worth! How apropos during National Small Business Month that I had the privilege to share Project Partners’ 30-year journey to date!
Advancing the Fort Worth ISD Strategic Plan
Previous work with the Fort Worth ISD includes many assignments. For example: Team Fort Worth, Distinguished Employers of Fort Worth Teens, Project C3 (Corporations, Classrooms, Community), Strategic Pathways to Student Success, Vital Link, and others. Now, we are happy to be teaming with the district once again to help advance the strategic plan to re-establish an education foundation for the district. We know first-hand that an education foundation is the perfect vehicle for attracting community engagement and funding in support of the incredible Fort Worth ISD students and staff. Stay tuned for how you can become involved!
Development Team Help For Center for Transforming lives (CTL)
Have you seen the new campus for Center for Transforming Lives (CTL) in southeast Fort Worth?! It’s an incredible feat that will empower CTL to help 900 more women and children every year. At this exciting time of growth, we are thrilled to be teaming with CTL to provide database organization and reconciliation that will help the new development team hit the ground running!
