Jeannie (pictured with her family) was recently recognized as the first Arlington graduate of the Texas Emerging Leaders Academy conducted by the Texas PTA. She is also beginning her fourth term on the Board of Directors of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. Jeannie received the Chamber’s Women’s Alliance Rising Star Award in 2014 which was the first year the Chamber gave this award recognizing a woman who has made significant contributions early in her career.
She is now preparing to chair the 78th international Gamma Phi Beta sorority convention in Dallas in June 2018. It promises to be the largest convention yet for the sorority (founded in 1874) with over 1000 delegates from all over the US and Canada.
A 1998 UTA graduate, Jeannie was commissioned in the Adjunct General Corps and was one of the first young officers to join the CCAC after its founding in 1997. She served multiple deployments to Iraq and her last active duty assignment was as the Battalion XO/Assistant Professor of Military Science at UTA. She is now the Director of Executive Education in TCU’s Neeley School of Business.
She and her husband, Will (USMA 1998), both hold Master’s Degrees from UTA.
