Phyllis M. Wilson, Ph D., Treasurer

Dr. Wilson is a retired educator who began her career as an elementary school teacher and counselor in the Chicago Public Schools. After a move to Ohio, she occupied a number of administrative positions both with Montgomery County Schools in Dayton, Ohio and the Columbus Public Schools in Columbus, Ohio. Dr. Wilson also served as an Adjunct Professor for a number of years with Capella University. Her final position as an educator was that of Superintendent for eleven years with District 86 in Joliet, Illinois. Her student population in Joliet was close to 49% Hispanic. Having the opportunity to interact with her Hispanic students and their families gave her a greater understanding of their experiences as citizens and members of the community. Dr. Wilson’s goal was always to provide the best educational opportunities possible for her students. It is this line of thinking that made her appalled at the way those who came to our borders were treated by the administration in charge - children separated from their parents, children in cages, etc. Dr. Wilson’s reaction to such heartless and uncaring actions caused her to become part of the Treasure Coast Democratic Hispanic Caucus. By doing so, she hoped to be a part of shedding light on the significant differences between the political parties as well as using the sympathy and empathy she felt towards the Hispanic population who were now targets of hate and bias. It is her hope that being an active member of the Caucus, she can once again make a positive difference in the lives of those so affected by the negative behavior of members of the opposing party.
