From Grassroots Service to Greater Impact.
— Will you help me with this next chapter?
Dear Friends,
After more than a decade of serving communities through grassroots organizing, nonprofit leadership, and civic engagement across multiple states, I’m honored and deeply grateful to share that I’ve been accepted into the LBJ Women’s Campaign School at the University of Texas! This prestigious, nonpartisan leadership program
equips women with the skills and confidence to run campaigns, serve in public office, and strengthen civic participation in their communities.
This program offers comprehensive campaign training across more than 20 essential topics, complemented by opening and closing ceremonies, a campaign competition, mentorship, intensive virtual training, and hands-on experiences that prepare participants for public service.
My guiding philosophy is simple: Serve to Lead. With your help, I can learn how to expand my impact, and continue to advocate for stronger communities and greater civic engagement for our future generations.
While I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity, tuition, travel, and lodging expenses present a real financial challenge. I’m thankful to have some expenses covered but, I still have a way to go. How can you help me as I take this next step in my leadership journey?
I will be in Austin, Texas for three days from May 13 - May 15 2026
- Tuition: $1,050.00
- Lodging: Might you help me pay for my hotel? I’ll be in Austin for three nights, and it costs $192.78 each day.
- Food: Might you help me buy a meal? A donation of $25, $35 or $40 will help cover the costs.
- Transportation: Uber transfers for 3 days: $30
Every contribution—no matter the size—helps me take this step forward. Just as meaningful is knowing I have people like you walking alongside me as I do.
Thank you for being in my life, for believing in me, and for the many ways you’ve already shaped the path that brought me here. I carry that with me into this next chapter.
With Gratitude,
Kathy
