During the SLI event, TASB recognized Board Secretary Katherine Goodwin and 31 other trustees from across Texas for completing the 2026 Leadership TASB program and earning the title of Master Trustee, TASB's highest designation. Leadership TASB inspires trustees to be proactive, visionary leaders who promote educational excellence for all children in Texas public schools. Each member was recognized at the conference for completing all requirements. The program is highly selective and connects school board leaders to their purpose in serving Texas’ 5.5 million public school students. More than 1,000 trustees have completed the year-long program since its founding in 1990.

“Achieving this status is an incredible achievement and we are very proud of Mrs. Goodwin,” said Plano ISD Superintendent Dr. Theresa Williams. “Her commitment to continuous learning exemplifies our district’s mission to educate, inspire and empower students to activate their unique potential in a dynamic world.”
