Impact A Hero Elects New Board Member

HOUSTON, TX, – January 2, 2019 – Impact a Hero (IAH), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to assisting wounded and disabled combat veterans, has announced the election of Kimberly Rawson to the Board of Directors effective January 1, 2019. Kimberly will be filling the seat vacated by Greg Ladeveze, who has finished his three-year term on the board.

“Impact A Hero is honored to welcome Kimberly to our leadership,” said Chairman of the Board, Doug Hall. “Ms. Rawson has been a longtime volunteer and champion of Impact A Hero. She has a heart for serving, a passion for our veterans and an impressive professional background that are valuable assets for our Organization.”

Ms. Rawson, Managing Director of a privately held investment firm based in Houston, TX, since 2016, directs and controls the Company’s operations and provides strategic guidance and direction to the Board of Directors. Previously, Ms. Rawson worked for Insperity (NYSE: NSP) for seven years during which time she spearheaded the creation, and development, of their National Accounts program. Prior to joining Insperity in 2009, Ms. Rawson served our country in several capacities at The White House from 2003 to January 2009, most recently as Deputy Associate Director with The White House Homeland Security Council. Ms. Rawson earned an Executive MBA at the University of Houston’s C.T. Bauer College of Business in 2011 and earned a BBA in Finance from Southern Methodist University in 2002.

“While working in the Office of the First Lady, I had the opportunity to volunteer at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. It was during those visits to Walter Reed where I witnessed first-hand that not only did the injured service members need support, their family and caregivers also needed support.  Impact a Hero’s holistic approach in support of our veterans, their families, and caregivers is what motivated me to begin volunteering with Impact a Hero in 2012. It gives me great honor to now serve this Organization and our Heroes at the Board level,” said Rawson.

Current Impact A Hero board of directors are: Chairman, Doug Hall; Vice Chair, Scott Livingston, Financial Chair, Bruce Colborne; Grant Chair, Rob Richie; and Directors Neil Campbell; Bill Norwood; and Rob Paiva.
