City Year Dallas Board Chair Transition: A Continuation of Visionary Leadership

Exciting news as we celebrate City Year Dallas’s 10-year anniversary! After four impactful years as Board Chair, Ken Barth, Chief Executive Officer at Catalogic, is stepping down from his position. Ken will continue to contribute his invaluable insights as a longstanding board member, a role he has held since 2017.

Ken’s career in the technology industry spans over two decades, including founding TekTools, Inc. and playing a pivotal role in the growth of Micromuse, Inc. A graduate of the University of North Texas, Ken is a long-time education advocate in the Dallas community, actively supporting numerous education-focused organizations, including as co-founder of Dallas Kids First.

As we bid farewell to Ken’s term as Board Chair, we extend our deepest gratitude for his transformative leadership. His dedication has significantly influenced our journey toward positive impact and growth, helping shape City Year Dallas into the impactful organization it is today.

Stepping into the role of our new Board Chair is Noelle LeVeaux. Noelle has been an integral part of the City Year Dallas board for three years, bringing her wealth of experience in brand strategy, marketing communications, and community service.

Noelle’s impressive career includes her role as CMO of Visit Dallas, where she spearheaded the BIG Campaign, winning accolades for its impactful rebranding efforts. A Spelman College graduate, Noelle is not only a seasoned professional but also a passionate advocate for community development.

Noelle’s leadership, combined with Ken’s continued presence on the board, ensures a seamless transition and a continued commitment to our mission. Together, we look forward to forging new paths and making lasting impacts on the lives of students and schools in the Dallas community.

“Noelle’s dedication to our mission, coupled with her extensive experience, positions her as the ideal leader for this role. We look forward to her continued impact on the City Year Dallas community.
