On behalf of the Board of Directors, I’m overjoyed to welcome Dr. Jenny McCormack Walker as the new Executive Director of Literacy Texas.
Dr. Walker comes to us from the Literacy Council of Bowie and Miller Counties, a small non-profit in the Texarkana area that significantly expanded innovative academic and workforce program options for adult learners under her expert leadership.
More fundamentally, Dr. Walker was a first-generation college student and personally understands the crucial role education plays in changing a person’s life trajectory.
Dr. Walker’s intimate understanding of the needs of adult students and families, along with the actions needed for community collaboration and growth will add depth and breadth to what Literacy Texas can offer nonprofits across the state, and we’re excited about what’s ahead.
There will be many opportunities to meet Dr. Walker in person, including at our ongoing slate of regional symposia, and she is looking forward to getting to know more of you from the vital field of adult and family literacy.
Thank you for your ongoing support of literacy in Texas!
Ernest Lewis III
Literacy Texas Board President
