June 2022 ~ NETworker of the Month

RaShana Hodge has been an instrumental member of The NETwork DFW chapter since she has moved to Dallas and joined The NETwork DFW in February. As soon as Ms. Hodge came to this chapter, she naturally navigated towards our Education pillar due to her background and expertise in Business and Finance. She was instrumental in helping to facilitate our 2022 Celebration of the Arts Scholarship process from start to finish. This year we had close to 10 applicants in our final selection with the ability to select four. RaShana helped us to think through the metrics necessary to ensure that we selected the best candidates to represent our chapter. She also sat on the 2022 Juneteenth Charity Sneaker Ball committee where The NETwork DFW chapter hosted this ball for the first time.

RaShana has been front and center with our Education pillar which creates an opportunity to help our members from professional growth & development. Her love for paving the way for future generations

has positioned her to be the puzzle piece in our Financial Literacy, eSTEAM, and Minority Case Competition (will launch in September) RaShana is one of the keys to help ensure that these events

continue the legacy and success it has over the past few years.

Even though RaShana has only been with the TX-DFW chapter for a few short months, she has actively helped the chapter with the following opportunities: eSTEAM with Family Gateway, Juneteenth Scholarship and Community Celebration, Financial Literacy Series, Fireside Chat, NETtalk series The DFW chapter is honored to have the talent and commitment from Ms. RaShana Hodge. She truly is a backbone to the Program Planning and Development team and is leadership ready.

"CONGRATULATIONS RaShana for this well-deserved honor!"

Please join us for an EG Collaboration with P50F, AT&T Veterans, HACEMOS, LEAGUE, the NETwork, oxyGEN, PMN, WoA, and HR Benefits in a 4-Part Mental Health education series to help understand effective treatment methods via Live Webcast.

There are many different options available for treatment, but no single method effectively treats everyone. Many people find that the best solution is sometimes a combination of treatments. Click the link below to learn more about such treatments.

A sincere thanks to each of you who were able to take time out to learn about community Policing from our distinguished guests: Dr. Cedric Alexander and Reverend Markel Hutchins. This webinar was a joint effort hosted by AFREN and The NETwork and was moderated by The NETwork's CFO - Quincy Hancock, Director Network Ops. It was truly a privilege to spend a little time picking the brains of these two leaders in the work to create stronger community bonds with our Public Safety  and Law Enforcement professionals. 

Though recordings were not made of this AT&T employee only event, I wanted to be sure that as many folks as possible were able to benefit from the key points that were made. 

To learn more about this event or if you are unable to access the event, please contact our Diversity and inclusion SVP, Matthew Gardner.
