How do small towns and rural counties invest in their future? Tom Fox and Andrew Gay explore this topic in their new podcast series Investing in the Future – Developing Leadership in Kerr County. Leadership Kerr County is the premier leadership program in the Hill Country which enables men and women to learn more about the issues and topics that face Kerrville, Kerr County, and the Hill Country daily; everything from education and social services to economic development and health care. Kerr County has decided to invest in its citizens to create future leaders and lay a foundation for their future involvement in the leadership of Kerrville and Kerr County. This podcast is produced and hosted by the Texas Hill Country Podcast Network.

In our 3rd episode, we chat with Wynita Yancy, a current class participant in Leadership Kerr County. Wynita is currently the Director of Marketing and Community Relations at The Hill Country Youth Ranch just outside Kerrville, Texas. Wynita is originally from Chicago and has been here in the Texas Hill Country just over a year now and takes great pride in the impactful work she is doing here for The Hill Country Youth Ranch, the kids’ lives they serve, and in our local community.

Highlights include:

-What led Wynita to find and apply to Leadership Kerr County?

-As a current class participant, what has been a standout experience thus far?

-What impact has the class had on her so far?

-In her perspective, what’s the difference between being involved in a community like Kerr County versus a larger community where she was involved previously (Chicago)?
