President, North Houston Frontiers Club & Managing Partner, DeMand Staffing & Consulting, LLC

Wilma Evans moved to Houston from San Antonio, Texas and began her career with Arthur Andersen & Co. and Langham Petroleum Corporation. She retired in 2004 from the North Forest ISD after a 22-year career. She cofounded in 2009 and presently serves as the Managing Partner of DeMand Staffing and Consulting, LLC.

She is unrelenting in her commitment to creating and expanding avenues of success for inner-city youth.
