PRESIDENT/CEO HONORED BY COMMUNITY COUNCIL OF GREATER DALLAS

Dallas Challenge President/CEO Tim James was honored by the Community Council of Greater Dallas for his dedication to the Dallas community with the Distinguished Human Services Professional Executive Director award.

One of two honorees at the annual awards banquet, Tim was selected from a pool of nominees of the Community Council's 125 member agencies. The judging panel chose the winners from outstanding nominees for their dedication to the people they serve, collaboration, leadership and results. A $500 cash prize was awarded in honor of Tim's achievement.

As President/CEO of Dallas Challenge, Tim leads the staff and volunteers of his organization by example and the knowledge he has gained from a long career in youth services in Dallas County. Since taking over the reins of Dallas Challenge more than three years ago, Tim has demonstrated both creativity in understanding the needs of children and their families and results in his ability to expand and gain funding for programs and services reaching thousands of children annually. To make an impact on children for their long-term development, health, success and happiness, these new programs include three-year funding for youth development, additional truancy intervention, gang prevention and financial literacy programming.

As the planning agency for the greater Dallas area, the Community Council of Greater Dallas connects people with resources for a better quality of life for all. It accomplishes its mission through coalitions, advocacy, outreach, direct service, communications, research and publications.
