Amy ’84 and Tim Leach ’82 have generously committed a $1 million gift to The Bush School to establish the Randy Sims ’61 Endowed Chair for City & County Governance, bolstering the City and County Governance Program and empowering the training of principled local government leaders across Texas. Named in honor of Randy Sims ’61—a beloved former Aggie, restaurateur, and dedicated public servant—the endowment will expand program offerings and inspire future public servants to serve their communities with listening hearts, keen integrity, and steadfast respect.
