Service, leadership, and the heart of a Bulldog
Wylie ISD Board of Trustees member Cameron Wileywas recently featured on Abilene People, the BigCountryHomepage.com podcast that spotlights local leaders making a difference in the Big Country.
In the episode, Cameron shares his remarkable journey from serving in the United States Air Force to his current work as the West Texas Industry Relations Specialist at Texas State Technical College (TSTC). His story is one of leadership, community, and deep-rooted faith — a reflection of the same qualities that guide his service on the Wylie ISD Board of Trustees.
Cameron talks about how his move to Abilene became an “unexpected blessing,” how his wife and daughters helped him plant roots here, and what he’s learned about balancing public service with family life. He also discusses the importance of preparing students for technical and skilled trade careers, noting how partnerships with local industries are vital to keeping young talent right here in West Texas.
The episode even touches on his time in Leadership Abilene, which recently honored him with the Leadership Abilene Alumni Award — recognition of his dedication to connecting people, programs, and purpose.
“I absolutely love serving on the Wylie school board,” Cameron says. “It’s a labor of love. My wife’s a teacher, my girls are Bulldogs — I get to see our schools from every angle. That’s a blessing.”
