Spring Event Featured Speaker Judy Gaman

Dallas Service Forum is very excited to welcome award-winning author, CEO and national speaker Judy Gaman as the featured speaker at the April 23 Dallas Service Forum “A Living Legacy of Service and Giving” Luncheon.  Gaman will inspire the audience with the meaningful message to find your passion and live your purpose. 

“DSF is filled with servant heart leaders who continue to make a difference. These fine women have touched countless lives through service and financial support since 1977. It takes time and money to make a true impact within a community and Dallas Service Forum’s dedication to both is simply amazing. I’m honored to be their keynote speaker as we celebrate “A Living Legacy of Service and Giving.”
