 Roy Larson Membership & Outreach Team Chairperson I believe I would probably bring a fairly varied background to the AWAB Council. I have an Associate of Science in Radio/Television Production, Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, and Master of Education in Counselor Education and am working on a second Masters degree, this time in Educational Administration. I have worked as a Volunteer Coordinator for a hospice and have worked for 18 years in education as a teacher, counselor, and program coordinator. I am currently Coordinator or College/Career & Guidance Services for a small school district just outside Austin Texas. Associated with my job, I am Chair of the College Enrollment Managers Work Group of the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce. We are a group of leaders from each of 11 area school districts who gather to coordinate our strategy to get more students directly to college. In that role I am often working with community leaders in business and politics. When the legislature is in session, I will give feedback and an “in the field” take on proposed legislation as well as directly testifying before the appropriate committee. In the community I have volunteered with AIDS Services of Austin and Project Transitions (an AIDS Hospice) with some of their major fundraisers. I’ve also just done spot volunteering on the day of events for other local charities usually helping with set up or take down as needed. As a church leader in the church where I was raised, I taught adult, young adult, and youth Sunday school, adult and youth Discipleship Training, was a youth leader. I also ran the soundboard most Sundays. Some of those same activities have translated over to my current roles at University Baptist Church in Austin. I teach an adult Sunday school class and run the soundboard every-other Sunday. Presently I serve as Chair of the Diaconate and Director of Bible Study. |
