It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of our former Executive Director, Tom Shelton.

Tom led the Henry Clay Center from 2020–2022 and played a pivotal role during a time of transition and growth for the organization. His steady leadership, thoughtful guidance, and commitment to the Center’s mission left a lasting impact on our work and on those who had the privilege of working alongside him.

Our thoughts are with his wife, Sharon, and his family during this difficult time.
