New leader from East Dallas

The board of directors of Wilkinson Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of Dallas families by providing them pathways to success, announces Daley Ryan as its new executive director effective January 8. Ryan will succeed executive director Anne Reeder, who will retire this month after 12-years of transformative leadership at Wilkinson Center. “One of the most compelling reasons I am excited to serve as executive director of Wilkinson Center is, as an East Dallas resident, it is a community that my family and I care deeply about,” said Ryan. “The opportunity to serve the community — to go to work every day with the knowledge that I am working alongside a dedicated team on the front line of driving progress and lifting our neighbors up — is a privilege and a responsibility that I do not take lightly.”— Kristi Bare
