SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER

Chris Tomlinson
Business Columnist
Houston Chronicle/San Antonio Express-News


We’re honored to welcome acclaimed journalist and New York Times bestselling author Chris Tomlinson as our special guest speaker. A longtime columnist for the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News, Chris brings decades of global and political reporting experience—plus a keen understanding of how policy, business, and civil rights intersect in Texas.  With over 30 years of reporting experience—including time as a foreign correspondent in more than 30 countries—Chris brings a powerful global and local perspective to his work.

In what’s sure to be a powerful and timely discussion, Chris will explore the urgent need to defend civil rights and the dangers of silence—especially from the business community—in the face of growing social and political threats. His message is especially relevant in a business-driven city and state like ours, where economic influence and civic leadership often go hand in hand. If you care about the future of our communities and the role of business in shaping that future, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
