TREASURER

Sandra recently retired from a long-time top account executive position with Waterman Broadcasting (KTSA) after working successfully in print media. Sandra currently serves as Branch Office Assistant for Edward Jones Investments in San Antonio, TX, acting mentor at Ridgewood elementary and has served 20+ in the Alamo Heights Chamber of Commerce. Sandra tells of her passion towards serving as coordinator of aspergers101: “The reason I want to be on the board of AS101 is because I have seen first hand what a different it is to a family and children with aspergers through my dear friend Jennifer Allen and her son, Sam Allen.  With love, kindness, patience and education a child with aspergers can live a fulfilled life. You must choose the child first.  Everything else will fall into place as the child grows. I have been to quite a few seminars with Jennifer and the parents that come up to her and Sam and say “You have made a difference in my life” are profound.  I am honored to serve on the board of AS101.”

After an extensive career in broadcasting, Jennifer Allen searched for answers when her oldest son hit the kinder years with great difficulty. Upon learning he had Autism, she left her career to better understand the diagnosis and care for her child. The lack of information encouraged Jennifer to elicit a team of autism experts to provide original, daily content for anyone seeking to live their best under the Autism/Asperger’s diagnosis. Now a 501c3 non-profit, Aspergers101 has grown exponentially under the guidance of its CEO/Founder with such programs as the televised documentary “Coping to Excelling”, securing Texas Legislative Laws that benefit those on the spectrum such as the “Driving with Autism” initiative, numerous Autism/Asperger conferences, training & live-streaming workshops and the mainstay, continual daily content on Aspergers101.org.  Her awards include the esteemed Gutenberg Award, SABJ Small Nonprofit, United Way for Health and Wellness Volunteer of the Year award and the ACU Distinguished Alumni Citation.
