Margo Dover Recognized as Central Texas Woman of Influence

Margo Dover, Skillpoint Alliance’s Executive Director, received one of 25 Women of Influence awards at the Austin Business Journal’s 16th Annual Profiles in Power luncheon on July 23rd. The awards identify the top women in Central Texas who have made a difference in their communities and have something to offer the next generation of leaders.

In her nomination, Kerry Tate of Hahn, TX wrote, “Margo uses her own power and influence to draw others who have power and influence, not for her own self-interest, but in the interest of serving others. Margo leverages power and influence, bringing it to bear for underserved, neglected and struggling individuals who are able and willing to become productive workers, neighbors and citizens. Smart, committed, funny -- she is a woman who will not be denied in her tireless pursuit to make good things happen.”

Congratulations to Margo for this much-deserved honor!!
