Wendy Jenkins

Wendy Jenkins joined the Today Foundation in February of 2007.

Her first assignment is to help build awareness of an emerging new drug in the Dallas Independent School District. The new drug, nicknamed "cheese" on the street, has taken the lives of four children in the Dallas area.

Recognizing the need for all partners concerned with the protection of Dallas school children, the Today Foundation has challenged Wendy to educate parents, teachers and children about the dangers of this new form of heroin.

Public service programs, town hall meetings and print material in both English and Spanish are just a few of the ongoing efforts Wendy is developing to inform the public.

Professional Background

Ms. Jenkins has worked in the field of Tourism Development and Marketing over the last 20 years.

She first undertook that role for the State of Georgia and for the past 10 years has managed similar responsibilities for Dallas-based Leisure and Recreation Concepts.

Her expertise in marketing has proven to be valuable in assisting the Today Foundation in its mission of educating the public on new dangers facing the youths of Dallas.
