Local Latino Leader #4- Gary Tackling
He’s a National Championship coach of several Latino youth soccer teams in the greater Chattanooga area, but Gary Tackling just does that in his spare time.
Gary works as a Program Manager for Tennessee Valley Authority’s River Operations. He co-founded several programs within TVA that focus on Latino networking and community involvement, among them “TVA & Amigos.” Gary jump-started a Partner in Education initiative with the Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy, a local learning community that specializes in teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to underprivileged girls.
Gary also serves as a board member for the St. Andrew’s Center, the previous home of La Paz.
We appreciate Gary’s hard work to keep the Latino community connected. And good luck on the next futbol season!
