Honored to serve with Erinn Horton and her willingness to say "YES" to joing the GBTA | Texas board of directors. I am looking forward to 2025, thank you for all you've done, continue to do and have yet to impact.

Please welcome Erinn Horton as interim Treasurer through 2025, following Dora Rodriguez's passing. Erinn, a longtime volunteer having served in various leadership committee roles with the registration committee, community and 2023 Allied Member of the Year, brings dedication and community spirit to her new role. About Erinn: Widowed Mother of two daughters 26 and 18, 24 Year+ proven Sales Professional with over 15 years of experience in leadership roles within sales, marketing, and customer service. Expertise in managing global accounts, driving customer satisfaction, and developing tailored solutions to meet client needs. Adept at fostering long-term relationships, ensuring customer retention, and leading cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact results. Erinn's reason for volunteering: "I firmly believe "To whom much is given, much is expected” I have a great life and if giving back gives someone a leg up to have the same, I feel it's the least I can do to help.
