With Appreciation

Jim Jenks, Chairman of the Board

The Board, Officers, Chairpersons and Volunteers for the 2018 Leader Dogs Classic take this opportunity to thank and honor Jim Jenks, our past Chairman and vital supporter for so many years. Jim’s leadership and tireless commitment to this cause spearheaded the growth and success of the Arizona-based volunteer effort. Always available, forever thinking, Jim brought his significant business skills and personal talents to bear each and every year to benefit those in need. While Jim has stepped away from the Board, he has not altered his support for the Leader Dogs Classic – an act of kindness and generosity that only fuels our respect for this gentleman.

We never took for granted the time and effort afforded us by Jim and we will not make the mistake to forget to thank him publicly once again.
