Sandra Stanley, a Fort Worth, Texas, native, felt called by God to start an organization for women in need. Opening Doors for Women in Need (ODWIN), a nonprofit organization, is the result of that vision. The organization seeks to empower women with confidence and resources needed to enhance their self-esteem and ultimately change their lives. ODWIN also seeks to teach these women how to provide for themselves and their children emotionally and financially.

Stanley’s education, experience and vision prepared her for this service. She graduated from Tarrant County Junior College with an associates’ degree in respiratory therapy and practiced as a technician in the Tarrant County Hospital District for over 20 years. During that time, she also obtained a bachelors of science degree in Allied Health Education from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. She was also a realtor.

For the past 20 years, Stanley has enjoyed serving on the board of the American Lung Association, Director of Minority Outreach for the North Texas Region of the American Lung Association, President and Vice-President of the Continuity of Care and as the Chair of NESEAM Senior at Home Program.  Throughout her community involvement, Stanley has found creative ways to implement various educational programs such as the Better Breathing Club at John Peter Smith Hospital and National Association of Director of Nurses (NADON) at Kindred Hospital.

Stanley also serves on the executive planning committee for Senior Day at the Zoo and the Senior Health and Wellness Fair.  She is a member of the Potter’s House Church in Dallas, Texas, where she is part of the Hospital and Prison Ministries.  Additionally, Stanley has participated in the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk as a team leader and held the position of Walk Chair for the Walk to Fight Asthma. She also helped coordinate Case Management Connection. Stanley intends, through her work with Opening Doors for Women in Need, to fulfill God’s great vision for her life.
