Dr. David Persse-Health Authority, City of Houston
Aug 18, 2022 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM

Dr. Persse's career in medicine started with ten years experience as a field paramedic and paramedic instructor in upstate New York and New Jersey. After receiving his pre-med training at Columbia University in New York, he then attended Georgetown University School of Medicine. Graduating with honors in emergency medicine from Georgetown, Dr. Persse then completed residency training in emergency medicine at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California.

After residency, Dr. Persse completed a resuscitation research fellowship at the Ohio State University. Dr. Persse was then awarded a grant from the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine and completed fellowship training in emergency medical services and resuscitation at the Baylor College of Medicine and the City of Houston Emergency Medical Services program. Following his EMS fellowship Dr. Persse became the Assistant Medical Director for the Emergency Medical Services system of Houston. He then moved to California to become the Medical Director of the Los Angeles County Paramedic Training Institute, and the Assistant Medical Director of the Los Angeles County EMS Agency.

In 1996 Dr. Persse returned to Houston to assume the role of the Director of Emergency Medical Services for the City of Houston. In May of 2004 he was appointed by City Council as Houston’s Public Health Authority. In his role as Public Health Authority Dr. Persse is responsible for the medical aspects of clinical care quality management, disease control and public health preparedness. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for the South East Texas Trauma Regional Advisory Council and the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians.

“Deciphering the Markets Difficult Message”
Aug 25, 2022 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM

TOPIC: “Deciphering the Markets Difficult Message”
3rd Quarter Market and Economic Outlook
 

DAVID AHLQUIST - RAYMOND JAMES

CFP®, AIF®

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, WEALTH MANAGEMENT

Dedicated to helping his clients realize financial independence, David offers comprehensive, sophisticated guidance aimed at demystifying the complexities of the financial world. He understands the hard work clients put into cultivating their wealth, and not only works to preserve the fruits of their labor, but also helps them address the important questions of legacy planning.

From helping clients pursue their philanthropic aspirations, to establishing strategies that help ensure their loved ones are taken care of, David is proud to assist his clients with all of the essential matters money touches. At the end of each day, David sees his job as a catalyst for doing good, and even has specialized experience serving the philanthropic community. When it comes to describing his practice, David closely relates to the book “The Go-Giver,” by Bob Burg and John David Mann. “A good friend introduced me to this book and it validated the way I’ve been running my business for years. It describes almost exactly how our practice is run, particularly when it comes to their Five Laws of Stratospheric Success,” he says.

In spite of his passion for financial planning, David didn’t always envision himself as an advisor. “I originally wanted to be a college professor,” he explains. “I fell into the financial industry and found I could apply my natural teaching skills to help distill difficult and challenging concepts into clear and concise advice.” In addition to simplifying complex topics, David also relishes the opportunity of seeing well-crafted plans help change the lives of his clients for the better, impacting entire families and their legacies.

David, who holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Maryland, entered the financial world in 1999 when he accepted the role of private client investment consultant at Charles Schwab. He later earned the role of senior wealth management advisor at TIAA in Austin and Houston, Texas, where he worked for 15 years. In 2019, he proudly joined Raymond James.

An active member of his community, David is proud to volunteer his time to causes near and dear to his heart, including the Houston Food Bank and Star of Hope. In his free time, David is involved with the University of Texas System’s Chancellor’s Council, the Do Good Institute at the University of Maryland and is part of the MD Anderson Cancer Center Advance Team.

David spent the majority of his childhood in the Washington, D.C. area, although he also spent time in New Mexico and Vienna, Austria, in his youth. He now makes his home in Houston, Texas, with his wife, Emily, and their three children, Sabra, Tressa and Dax. Away from work, David enjoys golfing, traveling, reading, eating delicious food and exercising (mostly as an excuse to eat more delicious food).

Raymond James is not affiliated with and does not endorse the opinions or services of Bob Burg, John David Mann or any organizations mentioned.

HEARTS for Children CPS Adoption Fair
Feb 11, 2023 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM

HEARTS for Children CPS Adoption Fair is a Rotary Community Corp created by The Rotary Club of Houston. 

We are looking for 15 volunteers to help with the event.  Volunteers should arrive no later than 9:15 AM.  No children under the age of 18 are allowed to volunteer at this event. 

At the event prospective adoptive parents with approved home studies mingle with children between the ages of 5 and 17 who are in the custody of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services- Children’s Protective Services Division and looking for their forever family.  Through the generosity of the Rotary Club of Houston the children and prospective adoptive parents get to know each other in a fun-filled relaxed environment with interactive games, photo booth,  a visit from the Texan’s mascot, service dog, Microsoft station,  DJ and lunch. 

Club members arrive at 9 a.m. to set up games/crafts, etc. When children we all relax playing the games. Vetted adoptive parents arrive later and take our placs with the children. Since we began this program there have been over 70 successful adoptions from first meetings at Hearts for Children Adoption Fair. 

Some special guests usually include TORO, Texans Mascot, our favorite Therapy Dog, a DJ, and Microsoft traveling game corner.
