Jackie Dennington joined the National Charity League in 2010 as a founding member of the Texas Topaz Chapter alongside her daughters, Katie and Jennifer. Throughout her tenure, Jackie has held pivotal leadership roles, including VP Communications and Grade Level Advisor. Her commitment extended to the national level as a Forever NCL Sustainer, where she served four years as the District 17 Ticktocker Specialist and four years on the National Nominating Committee (NNC), culminating in her leadership as NNC Chair.

A proud alumna of The University of Texas at Austin (BBA) and St. Edward’s University (MBA), Jackie recently retired from a career in bookkeeping. While her professional and volunteer work is important to her, she considers raising her two daughters to be her greatest achievement. As a bilingual daughter of Argentinian parents, Jackie leverages her language skills to serve her community; she currently volunteers weekly at the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry, assisting Spanish-speaking clients.

As a Director, she thrives on collaborating within NCL’s hybrid committees, bringing together diverse perspectives from across the country.
