JANIE AUTZ
​DIRECTOR OF OUTREACH
After my mother’s passing in 2000, I felt the need to give back for the wonderful care she had received from very dedicated caregivers as well as hospice.  At that time the East Dallas Community Center was looking for a Community Development Director to  help turn an aging building into a vital collaborative center for nonprofit agencies whose programs and services would benefit our community. I saw this as a great opportunity to “give back.”  I was hired and my first day was November 1, 2000.
