The Texas Kidney Foundation is proud to share that our President and CEO, Tiffany Jones-Smith, has been selected to participate in the 2026 American Express Leadership Academy: The Americas, taking place March 17–20 in New York City.

Designed and delivered by Common Purpose, the American Express Leadership Academy brings together social impact leaders from across the region to strengthen leadership capacity, expand cross-sector networks, and deepen collective impact.

This opportunity reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing kidney health equity, expanding access to early detection and prevention, and strengthening support for the communities we serve. We are excited for the insights, connections, and leadership strategies that will be brought back to further our mission across Texas.

Since 2007, the Academy has invested nearly $100 million to support more than 165,000 nonprofit leaders worldwide. We are honored to be part of this global network dedicated to driving meaningful change.

New York — we’ll see you in March!
