“Our Connecting Compadres series is focused on our male members and provides them with opportunities to network and learn from one another, as well as from other dynamic education leaders about topics relevant to their careers,” said ALAS Executive Director Dr. Maria Armstrong. “We’re excited to have Cinto Ramos Jr. join us for our Feb. 22 event and we encourage anyone considering joining ALAS to contact us so they can start participating in opportunities like this one.”
Cinto Ramos, Jr. serves as the Chief of Board Governance and Leadership at Leadership ISD, a nonprofit organization in Texas that equips community leaders with the skills to advance academic excellence and racial equity in public education through advocacy, policy, and school board governance. Ramos is a proven leader in these fields. He is also the national chair of the 2019-2020 Council of Urban Boards of Education (CUBE), serves on the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) board of directors, and will be the next president of the Mexican American School Boards Association (MASBA).
Ramos is a certified multicultural trainer, a certified juvenile probation officer in the state of Texas, a former co-director of the Multicultural Alliance’s Camp CommUNITY, an affiliate of Courageous Conversations About Race, and part of the inaugural 2019 Accelerating Board Capacity (ABC) Institute through Harvard Business School.
Bridging the silos of activism, leadership, and community engagement, Ramos earned a spot on the Fort Worth Independent School District’s School Board of Trustees in June 2013. Two years later, he reached an historic milestone, becoming the youngest board president from Fort Worth ISD. On May 28, 2019, he was selected by his colleagues to take the lead once again as the chair of the board.
Connecting Campadres is one of several networking and leadership development opportunities ALAS provides. It also hosts a major education conference in the fall, as well as vodcasts discussing issues in education, and other professional development opportunities throughout the year.
