Wilma J. 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.
