Leadership Temple Class of 2022
Business and community leaders gathered to celebrate a Leadership Temple Alumni and the Leadership Temple Class of 2022 at the Leadership Temple Banquet Wednesday, May 25, 2022, at the Hilton Garden Inn-Temple.
 
The twelve professionals of the Leadership Temple Class of 2022 were celebrated for their commitment and dedication to the 9-month program of community leadership, professional development, and personal growth.
 
The Class of 2022 was led by Tucker Glaske, University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, who served as Class President, and Camryn Bintz, Kasberg, Patrick & Associates, who served as Curriculum Chair. The graduates of the Class of 2022 are:
  • Bre’Layshia Alexander | Baylor Scott & White Health
  • Jake Blair | Kasberg, Patrick & Associates
  • Alfonzo James | Walmart Distribution Center 6083
  • Kevin Koonce | Right Sized Inventory
  • Tyson McLaughlin | Extraco Banks
  • Nanette Pace | 4 Legs of Love Boarding & Boutique
  • Shawn Reynolds | City of Temple Police Department
  • Michael Rousell | Brockway, Gersbach, Franklin & Niemeier, PC
  • David Shine | Shine Richardson Investment Group, Wells Fargo Advisors
  • Brian Stokes | Woodward Creative Group
  • Jordan Valentin | SweetTooth Growth Solutions
  • Branan Walker | Lengefeld Lumber Company
​Thomas C. Baird, Leadership Temple Class of 1990, was recognized as the 2022 Leadership Temple Distinguished Alumni. This award celebrates an alumnus of the program who has achieved a high level of professional accomplishments, demonstrated service to the community, who exhibits extraordinary leadership and character, and who has contributed to and has a lasting impact on the community.

Mr. Baird wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and pursue a career in construction and engineering. However, after being diagnosed with vision-compromising retinitis pigmentosa, he realized that construction was not for him. Mr. Baird's father suggested studying law.

In 1978, shortly after graduating from law school, Mr. Baird began practice as an attorney in Temple, Texas. He is a founding partner of Baird, Crews, Schiller, & Whitaker, P.C., with which he remains. He specializes in estate planning, business law, family business succession planning, and real estate.

Mr. Baird is active in many city and county professional associations. He has served on the boards of banks, companies, and other business and charitable organizations in the area.
Attendees of the banquet had the opportunity to network with fellow alumni, learn about the Class of 2022 Action Team project, and gain inspiration from a presentation on leadership and community engagement by Wendell Williams, Temple City Council, District 4.
​
As an added touch, Perry Office Plus created activity-centered centerpieces for the luncheon, that were donated to the Baylor Scott & White McLane Children’s Medical Center, in honor of Mr. Baird.
