Dallas BA Young Professionals Council Contributes to Collin College Excellence Fund
Dallas Builders Association’s Young Professionals Council Chairman Ben Romski with Union Main Homes and McKenzie Sheppard with RPRE presented a $6,000 check to Craig Johnson as a contribution to the Collin College Construction Management Program’s Excellence Fund. The check consisted of proceeds from the group’s recent bowling tournament.
The Excellence Fund assists students financially on a needs-based basis and helps keep them on track for the program. “While Collin College has one of the state’s lowest tuition starting at $1,500/semester, many students are living paycheck to paycheck oftentimes trying to support their family,” said Dallas BA Executive Officer Phil Crone, who guest lectured the class after the check presentation. “The fund is there to give them a hand up when they need it and has kept several students in the program and on track for a career in our industry.”
The Young Professionals Council provides programs aimed at Dallas BA members aged 40 and under. Upcoming council events can be found on the events section of DallasBuilders.org.
