Educational Breakout Room Featured Speaker Jamie White |
Jamie White is the Founder and Executive Director of Allie’s Way, a non-profit organization created to spread awareness about the dangers of distracted driving through the loss of her precious 2-year-old daughter, Allie Estelle White. Jamie’s perseverance and passion for ending distracted driving fatalities drive her to travel all over the state presenting Allie’s tragic story to schools, government agencies, businesses, and communities in conjunction with partner Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. She has even collaborated with TXDOT for their Talk, Text, Crash Campaign as they chose Allie to be the “Face of Distracted Driving” for Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April 2022. Jamie works with State Farm, AAA, TASA, Permian Road Safety Coalition, TX PTA, and several municipal courts. Allie’s Way has a professionally filmed short documentary about Allie’s story that has been endorsed by TXDOT, produced by Mosaic Media, sponsored by State Farm and Texas A&M, and then shared statewide. Jamie is dedicated to ending distracted driving, working with other non-profits, law enforcement, and lawmakers to prevent another tragedy like Allie’s. Allie’s Way Act (Senate Bill 41), a statewide hands-free bill, has been filed in the current 88th legislative session at the Texas Capital and is currently being supported by multiple agencies across the state. |
