Background

Mission: Restore, Rebuild, and Reclaim Futures through education, career, health, and social programs impacting communities. Our core values include integrity, equity, innovation, & opportunity.


FOUNDATION
The launch team, Dr. Lin and Margo Dawson have designed and launched programs to position people of all ages for success in the U.S. Their expertise is in higher education administration, Pre-K & K-12 schools, DEI (Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion) training, workforce development, faith-based structure building, and community relations.    


BACKGROUND
Dr. Dawson grew up in Mitchell Wooten Housing Projects in Kinston, North Carolina with his mother and two brothers. Lin attributes his success to his mom and a host of community leaders including Coach Coley Little who he wrote about in his book, "Can Anything Good Come From the Hood."  He gains credibility with his audience through his academic achievements (PhD, MBA), 10 years as a professional athlete (NE Pats), 25 years of corporate training experience, college professor and presentation to 50 plus Universities, executive coach successes, and as a minister (30+ years) having spoken at 200 plus churches. As a business speaker, his subject categories are team-building, transformational leadership, cultural translation, followship, and change management. He serves as a consultant to Top Fortune 500 companies, professional sports leagues, civic organizations, and the military in the areas of organizational development and leadership. Dawson holds  a  Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership.  Co-launching the nonprofit fuels his desire to rebuild, reclaim, and restore lives in his hometown and beyond.

Margo Dawson grew up in Chicago.  She learned the concept of entrepreneurship and how politics intersects community from her father who owned one of the first African American school bus transportation companies in Chicago and from her mother, a former precint captain and circuit court clerk.  Dawson majored in Journalism and Education before working as a special education teacher.  Years later, a racial incident occurred with her first born child prompting her to launch Global Diversity Training, a traveling Anti-Bias puppet show for pre-schools.  That evolved into conducting workshops for school systems in both Massachusetts and North Carolina.  Margo was hired by the YWCA of Wake County and League of Women voters to coordinate the Study Circles on Race & Ethnic Relations Project.  Dawson changed the name of her company to Train Them Up for Success and continued offering DI training.  Her objective as the executive director for Train Them Up for Success CDC is to close disparities in education, health, and open opportunities for the a growing workforce using innovative methods.
