Albert C. Black, Jr., founder, president and CEO of On-Target Supplies & Logistics, lives his professional and personal life by the philosophy he advocates: an absolute commitment to his faith, family, friends and to the free-enterprise system. Early in life Black became an entrepreneur – one with an agenda to create a successful business in the inner city community where he grew up. He founded On-Target in 1982 with his wife and two other partners. As president he developed the company’s mission and values and managed the daily challenges of a start up business. On-Target is located in southern Dallas with additional offices and warehouse operations in Houston, Glenrose, Plano, Sherman and Tucson, Ariz. As a regional logistics management firm with global customers and international responsibilities, the company’s primary strategy is to provide major corporations with outsourced supply chain management services. Its client list includes TI, TXU, EDS, AT&T, Alcatel and many more. Black’s extracurricular business and civic experience is extensive. He is a director of Rees & Associates and advisory director of TXU Electric and JPMorgan Chase. Black volunteers as a trustee of The Dallas Foundation and Baylor Health Care System. He serves on the boards of the Cox School of Business at SMU, the University of Texas at Dallas School of Management Advisory Council as well as Baylor University’s Board of Regents in Waco. He is currently completing his 10th year as a member of the Greater Dallas Chamber’s board, an organization that elected him chairman of the Board in the year 2000. In May 2004, Black received his most humbling recognition – Father of the Year. Additionally, Black is proudly featured in Craig Hall’s book, The Responsible Entrepreneur. While Black’s commitment to business and his community are important forces in his life, his priorities are his faith and his family. His wife Gwyneith, a lifelong partner, serves On-Target as vice president of Business Relationships and is a key factor in Black’s relative success. He has three children: Oliver Victor Black, Albert C. Black, III (Tre’) and Cora René Black. The Chamber's annual New Teachers Luncheon honors new teachers entering the Richardson Independent School District (RISD). Since 1958, area businesses, organizations and individuals have expressed their strong interest in maintaining quality education for the students, faculty and staff of RISD by supporting the event.
