About The Founder
Meet Your Strategic Partner
Tisa J.D. Clark is a business strategist, leadership trainer, and entrepreneur committed to helping leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations turn vision into execution. She is the founder of the DAIS Impact Center, a professional education and workforce development hub in Waldorf, Maryland, and the President & CEO of J.D. Clark Consulting, L.L.C.
For more than three decades, Tisa has worked at the intersection of leadership development, business strategy, and community advancement. Through her consulting practice and the DAIS Impact Center, she equips individuals and organizations with the strategy, systems, and leadership capacity needed to strengthen businesses, expand opportunity, and build sustainable communities.
