Champions for students

Beverly and Jim Postl and Rufus and Yvonne Cormier were among the crowd at the second annual Champions of Hope gala benefiting The Holdsworth Center. Held at River Oaks Country Club, the evening benefited the Center’s efforts to strengthen Texas public schools through leadership programs for teachers, principals, and superintendents. Donald Evans, former US Secretary of Commerce, was recognized for his efforts to improve education in the state through the Permian Strategic Partnership. In addition, six alumni of Holdsworth Center programming were named Champions of Hope: Ashley Chohlis, Denise De Loera, Elizabeth Minto-Bauer, Dr. Bobby Ott, Dr. Usamah Rodgers, and Cynthia Sullivan. The Holdsworth Center was founded in 2017 by H-E-B chairman Charles Butt and has worked with more than 1,500 educators across the state.
