Tamika Perry, CEO of Dallas Hope Charities, is one of 60 scholars chosen for the Presidential Leadership Scholars’ ninth class, officials announced this week.
According to a press release announcing the honor, “For nearly a decade, PLS has served as a catalyst for a diverse network of leaders brought together to collaborate and create meaningful change in the United States and around the world as they learn about leadership through the lens of the presidential experiences of George W.
Bush, William J. Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Lyndon B. Johnson and their administrations.” Perry and the 59 other PLS members were “selected after a rigorous application and review process,” with individuals chosen “based on their leadership growth potential and the strength of their personal leadership projects aimed at improving civic engagement or social good by addressing a problem or need in their community, the country or the world,” the press release noted.
Tamika Perry stepped into the role of CEO at Dallas Hope Charities in 2021 after having worked as a volunteer, intern and then House Manager.
