Community Leader

Tom Serves on the Board of the League City Lion's Club.  Board members are responsible for setting strategic goals, planning community service projects, and ensuring the club's operations align with its mission of humanitarian service. Duties include overseeing financial management, coordinating fundraising efforts, and engaging with members and the community to promote the club’s initiatives. As a board member, we help steer the club’s activities, ensuring they effectively address local needs, enhance community well-being, and uphold the values of service and leadership that define the Lions Club. 

 Tom generously volunteers his time to teach classes at the Small Business Development Center, where he helps small businesses navigate the complexities of choosing the right business structure and understanding its tax implications. He also provides valuable insights into the common challenges faced by entrepreneurs, equipping them with the knowledge they need to succeed. 

• Tom paid for his wife to attend the Elected Officials trainings with him so they could both meet with other city leadership, and learn from their successes and failures. They were able to meet with multiple venders and learn about new products and technologies that are available or are in the pipeline.

•  The city budget includes allocations for city council training, recognizing that these sessions are valuable for discovering innovative solutions and best practices from other cities of similar size. These trainings help the council explore new ideas and improve their approach to governance. 

•  The expense report is provided here for transparency. The amounts of $4,800 and $6,000 at the top represent the stipends allocated to each council member.
