This past year has challenged working women and the companies that employ them like never before.
D CEO will offer strategies for thriving in the new environment when its popular Women’s Leadership Symposium returns next month.
The all-day virtual event, “A Matter of Value,” will feature more than 15 dynamic speakers who will dive into topics centered around women’s self-worth, the value of women in the workplace and in society, and what we value collectively and as individuals. Speakers range from C-level executive and entrepreneurs to one of the NBA’s few female coaches and more.

Fort Worth will have a new mayor for the first time in a decade as voters Saturday were choosing a successor to Betsy Price, the only Republican mayor of Texas’ big cities.
The winner is set to take over a rapidly changing Fort Worth. The city has grown to nearly 1 million residents, and Democrats have made fast inroads in surrounding Tarrant County, one of the GOP’s biggest strongholds in Texas.
Although the race is officially nonpartisan, the crowded field includes Tarrant County Democratic Party Chairwoman Deborah Peoples, who lost to Price in 2019. If elected, she would become Fort Worth’s first Black mayor.
Aledo ISD recently named Tanner Holmes as principal at Coder Elementary School.
Holmes has been the assistant principal at Cheney Elementary in Birdville ISD since 2019. Prior to that, Holmes was a teacher at the Academy at CF Thomas Elementary in the BISD from 2012 through 2019, and he was an English/language arts/reading interventionist at Richland Middle school in the BISD in 2012.
âMr. Holmes is a wonderful student advocate, relationship builder and collaborator, all important traits in a great educational leader,â Superintendent Susan Bohn said. âWe are excited to have him in our Bearcat family, and I know the Coder Cats will welcome him to their campus.â
Texas introduced the family to America s split attitudes toward difference and racial discrimination.
“It was our first exposure to racism in the sense of seeing Confederate flags and people who let it be known that we weren t welcomed,” Swen recalls. “We had to ask ourselves, ‘Did we do something wrong?’ In Africa, there were tribal differences, but that had nothing to do with the color of one s skin. I was forced to look at these things, to understand my place in this new country. As a child, it was all very confusing.”
Yet, there were also parishioners of a White church who helped the family with bills, covered the cost of summer church camps for the children and provided the family with its first car.

Friend,
There are 5 weeks left in session and we’ve been busy passing bills to support our first responders, protect the Second Amendment, stand up to federal government overreach and champion religious liberties. As I head back to Senate District 30, I wanted to give you an update on what we’re working on for Senate District 30 and the State of Texas.
SD 30 Bills Moving Out of the Senate
The best ideas flow to Austin, not from Austin which is why I appreciate hearing directly from you. With more bills moving through the legislative process, it’s been a busy few weeks passing bills out of Committee and the Senate. A quick highlight of some of the bills that have come from SD30 and have passed out of the Senate are:
