Randall Reed’s Planet Ford 635 is proud of Leadership Garland Class 43. Our Ford (serving Garland, Dallas, Rockwall, Rowlett, Richardson, Plano) was honored to sponsor the graduation celebration the class advisors and the 28 individuals who completed the program through the Garland Chamber of Commerce.
Planet Ford 635 knows how beneficial this program can be. It’s hard to believe but both Sheena Sharapata, community relations/hiring & training director, graduated Class 36 and Suzanne Baker, general sales manager, graduated Class 37!
One of the state’s most successful and longest-running leadership training programs, Leadership Garland equips participants with the skills and perspectives they need to contribute to their community as effective business and civic leaders.
Through active participation and hands-on experiential learning, each year’s attendees will learn practical leadership skills, understand more about their local city, regional and state context and discover opportunities to apply their skills in the local community.
Planet Food 635 was proud to lend support. Sheena helped plan the graduation and spoke on her Leadership Garland experience, including how it introduced her and Planet Ford 635 to several non-profits in the community as well as many phenomenal individuals who make a huge impact in the Garland, TX community.
In addition, she was able to share the upcoming inaugural Garland 9th Street Gym Project – Developing The Future event at the Curtis Culwell Center on July 19th with 12 sanctioned matches through USA boxing that is hosted by Planet Ford 635. Currently, 32 Tables of 10 have been SOLD and 5 Tables of 10 remaining with Dinner from Desperados Mexican Restaurant. Our goal from 370+ individuals and companies coming together is to raise $60,000+ to support the gym mission, provide nutritional snacks for athletes, provide up to date equipment, provide essentials for boxing and karate, provide travel costs for student athletes competing in Texas and across US to win titles and grow the program for students and athletes looking for a place to call home.
