Quarterly Business Briefing

As many of you may already know, the Dallas chapter introduced the newest networking event for Texas Tech Alumni in the Dallas area last September. The Quarterly Business Briefing breakfasts have been a sellout success story from the start. The purpose of these networking breakfasts is to provide an opportunity to Texas Tech alumni to meet and interact with these leaders as well as other area alumni. Proceeds from these events will go directly towards providing scholarships to select Dallas area high school seniors who are planning to attend Texas Tech.
The high-profile breakfast series was kicked off at the Dallas Museum of Art with guest speaker Stephen Jones, COO for the Dallas Cowboys. In November, this was followed up by the mayor of Dallas, Tom Leppert speaking to the group at the Pegasus Ballroom of the Magnolia Hotel. The Dallas chapter now has it’s eyes set in on the February 11th date witch brings in Bob Shapard, CEO of Oncor. Mr. Shapard is a native Texan with a wealth of operating, financial and leadership experience from positions held throughout his career. He earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Texas Tech and is a certified public accountant.
The final breakfast of the series, which is slated for April 1st, highlights the chairman and CEO of Hunt Oil, Ray Hunt. Mr. Hunt has received numerous awards through his career including being elected to the Texas Business Hall of Fame as well as receiving the Distinguished Service and Leadership Award of the 25-Year Club of the Petroleum Industry. He was also appointed by President George W. Bush to the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board in Washington, D.C.
We hope that you will be able to join us at either or both of these upcoming breakfasts. To find out more information on tickets for this event, sponsorship packets, who our current sponsors are or other information, please visit the Business Series web page.
