On Friday, April 24th, CWIL Founding Member Ann Lents was honored with the Distinguished Alumni Award from The Kinkaid School in Houston, Texas.
As a strong proponent of civic engagement, Ann was former president and CEO of the Center for Houston’s Future, a not-for-profit policy planning organization that works to solve Houston’s toughest problems through discussion, research, and actionable strategies. Retiring in 2008, Ann continues to be a catalytic leader in the community, engaging in the policy arena as a board member of the Houston Parks Board, as the president of the board of Texas Children’s Hospital, and as a trustee of the University of Texas Law School Foundation. Prior to her work with these organizations, Ann was a partner at Vinson & Elkins, where she focused primarily on commercial litigation.
CWIL congratulates Ann on this well-deserved award.
