Yet Another Best and Brightest Native
“Leadership means seeing a need and either gathering a group to accomplish a goal or sometimes it can mean getting it started and letting a “shining star” take it over. It means being an inspiration, an organizer, an encourager, a motivator, a good listener… it is a role of many hats.”
Trish credits Leadership Texarkana for learning about various organizations and how they work together. She thinks that making the largest difference in her community often times comes in the smallest step. She has returned to the LT Board of Directors by request, saying Leadership Texarkana is an organization that she supports what it stands for.
