Dr. Don Stockton - Over a Decade of Service to MCUW
|
Dr. Don Stockton, Conroe Independent School District Superintendent serves his community well by giving back. Montgomery County United Way has been the recipient of that service for over a decade. He "saw that MCUW was beneficial to the community". But when his mother started needing wheel chair accessible transportation to doctor's visits and his dad found a program funded by MCUW to help provide these trips; Dr. Stockton's view became personal.
He describes the role that MCUW plays in our community as "United Way mobilizes resources, it has a long reaching arm into our community. It impacts the quality of life for our citizens. I've gone from noticing the United Way NFL football ads in my youth to seeing, first hand, how United Way addresses the long term needs in Montgomery County." After contributing to Montgomery County United Way through CISD fundraising campaigns, Dr. Stockton was asked by MCUW President Julie Martineau to serve on a committee that would ultimately produce MCUW's "Youth Yellow Pages", a resource guide for young teens to be able to connect with information on the effects of drugs, good health, safety and positive activities. This was in response to the shooting incident in Columbine, CO. After also serving as a member of the Strategic Investment Committee, he saw, first hand, the number of people that serve in this manner. "I was amazed, it was a great experience", he said. He was then asked to serve on a 3 year term on the MCUW Board of Directors and then was asked to repeat for a second 3 year term, which included serving as Board President for one year. Thanks Dr. Stockton, for your tireless efforts to serve our community!
