Effective leadership requires more than just a title; it requires a proven track record of bringing people together to solve complex problems.

Leah M. King has been a steadfast champion and civic leader for the DFW area, delivering measurable change through public service, nonprofit work, and community partnerships.

As the current president of the JPS Foundation, elected official and president of the Board of the Tarrant Regional Water District, and former CEO of United Way of Tarrant County, Leah’s experience goes beyond being a figurehead or just raising dollars. She has been a driving force to tackle persistent challenges in health, education, infrastructure, and financial stability.

Leah’s influence extends to the philanthropic space as a founder of Women United, helping build a powerful network of women advancing opportunity across North Texas. She also serves in board and advisory roles for multiple local institutions, reflecting a broader commitment to shaping the region’s future through cross-sector collaboration.

When she’s not pouring into her community, Leah is likely spending time with family and friends, connecting with her faith, watching football, keeping fit, admiring amazing art, or trying delectable local flavors.
