After 12 years in senior level public affairs and project management in the private and public sectors, Dolores began her consulting firm, The Blackburn Group.  Her initial clients were friends who engaged her with their real estate development projects and sought her expertise with mineral interest matters.

Dolores also provides diversity recruiting and team development consultancy services.
Focused on giving back to the community, Dolores is currently serving as Fort Worth’s District 5 representative to the City’s Community Action Partner Agency.
