Meet our Board of Directors

 

Chef Aundre Blasingame

Chief Operating Officer

I was inspired to join S.O.A.R. because someone successful didn't give up, on me. I was asked to pay it forward one day. S.O.A.R. is one of my 'days' to pay it forward

Leon McCamery

Vice President

I believe S.O.A.R. will be a school, a platform, a training facility, and a place of hope where our students can dream big. We will teach our students that limitations are not an option. They will learn to develop strength to overcome obstacles in life, and build courage to face their fears.

Tiana Garner

Board Member/ HR Director-Administrator

I'm honored to help SOAR succeed in, management, and building a strong foundation that will be long-lasting. S.O.A.R. holds a personal place having children of my own. It is important to provide them with a place that will help them grow, and feel inspired as well as be an inspiration. I'm glad to be part of what will be an iconic education platform for kids to have an option to grow in a field with promising rewards.

LaToya Dawkins

Board Member/ Curriculum & Instructional Design Director

As an educator, I believe wholeheartedly in S.O.A.R.’s mission and vision to provide our students with hands-on and real life experiences. S.O.A.R.’s unique approach to learning is sure to provide each student with the tools, skills and knowledge they need to gain lifelong personal and professional growth. As a board member, I hope to support our students in reaching their goals, breaking barriers, and reaching success over and beyond their reality.

Chasidy Kennedy

Board Member/ Curriculum & Instructional Design Director

Having the opportunity to inspire tomorrow's leaders is what motivated me to join the board of directors for SOAR. I am excited to be a part of a groundbreaking organization that exposes our youth to various career paths and helps them establish a strong academic foundation. Leading by example and providing our students with the support and guidance required for academic success helps SOAR stand out from other programs. SOAR is an organization like no other, and I look forward to witnessing and being a part of all future accomplishments.

JR Dawkins

Board Member / Business & Technology Design Director

My inspiration to join S.O.A.R. lies within the opportunity to invest in underrepresented youth. In America the education system is fragmented in a way that can put some kids at an unfair disadvantage. We are here to make sure children get the best preparation for their future possible, regardless of their economic status.
