We are saddened to announce the passing of Max Post, co-founder and first President of the Texas Instruments Alumni Association (TIAA). Max died on July 4th at his home in Dallas. He was an inspirational servant leader whose kindness, humility, and dedication touched many lives. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
The TIAA was a passion for Max after his retirement from TI. In 1999 he was asked by TI management to create the TIAA with the following primary mission: 1) organize and coordinate an annual luncheon as a socializing benefit for TI retirees, 2) organize and coordinate an annual meeting to communicate changes to the TI provided medical benefits to TI retirees, and 3) organize and coordinate an annual golf tournament where funds are raised to support the Senior Source (and now also the United Way), and 4) organize and coordinate activities to enhance the lives of TI retirees. Max, with the help of others, recruited and led a core team that created the TIAA structure which has been enhanced over the years and remains in place today, focused on giving, learning, volunteering, and socializing. Over the years he continued to recruit and guide new leaders. Many people can relay a story of how they received a call from Max requesting they fill an officer or committee chairman position within TIAA and provide fresh ideas. Those same people will tell you it was difficult to say no to Max. His imprint is on everything the organization does, both internally and within the broader Dallas community.
Max was a remarkable person, and always a joy to be around. For many of us, it is hard to imagine a world without Max Post. Our deepest condolences to his wonderful family which was always at the forefront of his thoughts and actions.
A memorial service will be held at 10:00am, Saturday, July 11, at Wilshire Baptist Church, 4316 Abrams Rd, Dallas, Texas. The service will also be livestreamed and accessible from Wilshire Baptist Church’s YouTube channel. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Senior Source or Wilshire Baptist Church, with a note to go towards Pathways to Ministry.
