SWAN Impact Network is pleased to announce that Valerie Tompson has been named to serve as the Chapter Lead of the Houston branch and has also joined SWAN’s Board of Directors.

Valerie has worked as a physician assistant and currently serves as the Executive Director at City Church in Houston. With a blend of medical experience, public accounting, a recent MBA from Duke University, and non-profit management experience, Valerie gathers and analyzes data and makes executable plans for innovative, efficient processes that directly impact the bottom line. She brings an intensity and stamina of effort to her work with attention to detail as well as an ability to simplify complicated ideas and build trusting relationships. Valerie enjoys getting up-to-speed quickly and continually learning new things to stay on the cutting edge. Much of her professional and personal time has been spent in roles helping organizations make an impact.

Outside of work, Valerie enjoys spending time with her family. Her husband Matt is a Physician who practices in the Houston Medical Center, and they have three children who range from middle to graduate school. Traveling (and eating), reading, and running fill up her additional time. Valerie has served in many roles in her children’s schools in Houston, including the chair of the Parent Guild at St. John’s School and PTO president at Roberts Elementary.
