Shayla Nelson
Economic Development Committee Chair

Shayla Nelson serves as Chair of the Economic Development Committee for the Leavenworth Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. A Houston, Texas, native, she was initiated into the Sorority in Fall 2025.

​

As part of Delta’s programmatic thrust of Economic Development, Shayla is committed to advancing financial literacy and economic empowerment through relevant, community-focused programming. Her leadership has included the chapter’s First-Time Homebuyer Workshop, which connected community members with professionals and resources to support informed decisions on the path to homeownership.

​

During the 2026–2028 administration, Shayla plans to build upon this foundation through programming focused on credit confidence, homeownership pathways, financial literacy, and wealth-building. Her goal is to provide practical education and access to resources that empower individuals and families to strengthen their financial futures and create lasting economic impact within the community.
