Leslie joined The Georgetown Project as Program Director in 2000, following a long career with a statewide nonprofit in Austin. She moved into the Chief Executive Officer role in 2010. Leslie blends 33 years of nonprofit management and program development experience with a small-town upbringing—complementary perspectives for a community-based organization like The Georgetown Project dedicated to engaging adults in every-day healthy connections with children and youth. Leslie oversees all operations, and performs grant writing, grant management and evaluation for TGP programs, including ASAP, Assets In Action, Bridges to Growth, Community Interaction Partnership, Kid City and The NEST. She leads The Georgetown Project Collaborative for Children & Youth and Afterschool Alliance, and enjoys a full training schedule. Leslie was raised in Coleman, TX, and has a Bachelor’s Degree in Agricultural Journalism, with a minor in Political Science, from Texas A&M University, where she met her husband I.G., who was raised in Elgin. Leslie has lived in Williamson County for 37 years (28 in Georgetown). She and I.G. have two sons, Sam (a 2006 Georgetown High School graduate and 2010 Angelo State University graduate) and George (a 2015 Georgetown High School graduate and Texas A&M senior). They welcomed a new daughter-in-law, Carly, this year. Leslie says the work of The Georgetown Project speaks to her heart, and provides a unique opportunity to join together with partners in building a better community for Georgetown kids.
