312 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine SOCIAL SERVICES AND NONPROFIT While Ms. Mims had dreamed for a decade of founding a philanthropic organization, she was motivated to form the Mims Family Matters Foundation in January 2017, seven months before Hurricane Harvey. In that storm, several schools in low-income areas of Houston were flooded. With the help of her husband and his chief executive officer, Ms. Mims raised funds and assisted families in the region by providing them with towels, blankets and school supplies. They then duplicated the effort for families in Ms. Mims’s hometown of New Iberia, Louisiana, ensuring they had food, supplies and toys, especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Looking forward, Ms. Mims intends to dedicate herself full-time to the goals of the Mims Family Matters Foundation. She attributes her success to the strong influence of her parents, John Berry and Anna “Patsy” Francis Joseph, as well as the support of her husband, Richard. Visit www.familymattersfoundation.net. Corlice Joseph Mims possesses over five years in the philanthropy industry. In 2017, she founded the Mims Family Matters Foundation Inc., a charitable giving organization that addresses the needs of economically disadvantaged families. In addition to creating the foundation, she serves as its director. Her responsibilities include identifying pressing needs for her foundation to work on and sourcing funding for foundation projects. A certified medical technologist, Ms. Mims earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Louisiana at Monroe and has worked in laboratories since 1981, performing laboratory tests for hospitals. In 2004, she started focusing on the information technology aspect of her field when she realized that IT was a way to remain connected to the laboratory and still contribute to quality patient care. In 2012, she founded CJM IT Consulting Inc., which specializes in hospital laboratory systems. In 2018, Ms. Mims began consulting at HL Moffitt Cancer Center and became a full-time employee in 2020. Today, adjacent to her work with the Mims Family Matters Foundation, she works as a clinical systems analyst at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida. She hopes to relaunch CJM IT Consulting as a vehicle to continue to fund her nonprofit organization. CORLICE JOSEPH MIMS FOUNDER, DIRECTOR Mims Family Matters Foundation Inc. Katy, TX
