Leadership

I am involved with BakerRipley because I want to make all neighborhoods in Harris County better. BakerRipley works hard and effectively for the good of our communities. I hope that by supporting BakerRipley, our communities and our residents’ lives change for good…

I serve BakerRipley because of its mission to transform entire communities and its respect for the institutions and people it works with. And its people – Angela, Claudia, Ray, Pat (especially Pat) and the list goes on for hours…

I became involved with BakerRipley because of their mission to transform neighborhoods and improve the lives of people in Houston. This is the most comprehensive, integrated, and effective approach to neighborhood redevelopment I have seen, and it is making a difference in the lives of people every day.

I got involved with BakerRipley because it allowed me to be part of an organization that has done such life changing work for communities. My introduction was a visit to Baker-Ripley. That visit provided first-hand insights on how they positively touch lives. Whether through education, taxes, or entrepreneurial services, they turned a community around in a profound and meaningful way.

I got involved because of their strong stance on immigration. The road to citizenship for immigrants is the only sensible approach and, in fact, is supported by the majority of Americans. I believe that the vast majority of immigrants are motivated to be hard working, contributing members of our society. BakerRipley is dedicated to letting the American dream become a full reality for over 10mm people.

I became involved with BakerRipley because our organization looks out for everyone, especially our new Americans. We work together to find opportunity for all and understand that our shared strength in Houston is best measured by how we include others.

I am a strong supporter of BakerRipley both financially and with my time because BakerRipley is dedicated to helping people help themselves. Everything that they do is focused on enabling those that we touch to move down the road to improving themselves and their lives so that they can become self-sufficient and give back to those that follow them in their journey.

I got involved because of Family - the focus on families that are served by BakerRipley, the family at BakerRipley that loves what they do, and the members of my family that have volunteered at BakerRipley and/or Ripley House in past years!

I got involved with BakerRipley because I was impressed with the organization’s goal of providing assistance that empowers people to improve their lives for the long term. It’s a “hand up” that can change lives permanently rather than a “hand out” that changes it temporarily.

I got involved as a Board member of BakerRipley because it provides the assistance that Houston families need in order to become self-sufficient and engaged members of our community. No other organization in Houston has the scale and breadth to play this critical role.
