“A leader is only as great as the team he/she leads, therefore success comes through the efforts of the team, not merely the efforts of one man or woman.”
- LaShone Releford

A Music & Arts scholar to the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, LaShone found his most gratification in Business and Telecommunication therefore pursuing a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration with an emphasis in Project Management and currently, in Human Resource Management.

Through promotions, he also served in Account Management, Network Operations, Program Management and recently served as Project Manager for the Network Services Provider, LCC International. Not only does his experience cover the telecom industry, but LaShone also has a lucrative background in the Healthcare Industry where he served in multiple capacities such as; Electrocardiograph Technician for the Stuttgart Arkansas Medical Center, Patient Information Coordinator & Otolaryngology Clinical Supervisor for the Arkansas Children’s Hospital, as well as, working in Emergency Admissions for Centerpoint Medical Center and St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City Missouri.
Beyond his secular career pursuits, LaShone has a heart for service and believes strongly that he was birthed into this world to be an extension of God’s love to his people. One of his favorite quotes is, “If we are the body of Christ, then someone has to be the hands that touch the untouchable and reach the unreachable”.

As a child & teenager, La.Shone worked with the Salvation Army as a volunteer for multiple years which introduced him to serving the homeless and ultimately gave him the passion for non-profit work. As the new president of the CDC, his vision for the organization pushes the limits. “A leader is only as great as the team he/she leads, therefore success comes through the efforts of the team, not merely the efforts of one man or woman.”
