Texas Impact board and staff members September 2024
Texas Impact’s Leader Council comprises representatives from diverse faith traditions, some of whom serve as official representatives of governing bodies or interest groups within their traditions and others of whom serve in an individual, at-large capacity. The Leadership Council structure was established in the 1970s using the Texas Conference of Churches model, and is updated occasionally to reflect our organization’s increasing religious diversity.
Most Leadership Council members are representative of a Texas Impact member institution. Member institutions include judicatories (regional bodies of religious denominations); regional social action groups, which may be single-faith or interfaith; and regional interfaith alliances. In general, single-faith regional convening or governing bodies have two seats, and interfaith or social-issue interest groups have one seat. The Council has 10 at-large seats. These seats are intended to help ensure diversity and inclusion.
The Texas Impact Board is a subset of the Leadership Council, elected by the Council from among its members every two years. The Board has 5 officers: President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Past President. The officers are elected in September of odd-numbered years for 2-year terms beginning in January of even-numbered years. Officers may serve up to two consecutive terms.
