Default Using Dot Leaders with Tabs

I want to design a document that will have dot leaders for only some of the
tabs. For example, this is what I want

8:00 am Welcome & Introductions
.................................John Smith

Xerox

9:00 am Overview
.................................................. ..... Mary Johnson

Xerox

I only want the dot leaders to go from Welcome & Introductions to John Smith
but I don't want dot leaders next to Xerox. The same for the next line
Overview. If I set the tabs everytime I press the tab key to go to that
location I get dot leaders. Would I have to not put the dot leaders on and
just add them manually to the tabs I want to have dot leaders.

Thanks very much for any help.

Easiest:
Do all your typing first. Then format your first dot-leader item. Then use
the format painter and apply it to all the others you want to have
dot-leaders. Please don't underestimate the power of the format painter.

Looks like an ideal use for Styles and for setting the style for the
following paragraph different from the current paragraph.
