Event Details — Fort Bend Luncheon with TX Senator Tommy Williams

"New Senate Transportation Chair to Address Central FB Chamber
Sen. Tommy Williams will Speak at August 13 Luncheon

Reservation required

Statewide mobility and transportation issues, particularly funding issues, are always hot topics of conversation. With the 82nd State Legislature preparing itself to find solutions for a projected budget shortfall, those conversations and debates are getting even hotter. The Central Fort Bend Chamber Alliance’s August Business Luncheon will offer expert insight into some of those issue as it presents Sen. Tommy Williams, Dist. 4, who was appointed Chairman of the Senate Committee on Transportation and Homeland Security on July 14 by Lt. Governor David Dewhurst. The appointment was the result of a sudden shake-up in Senate committee construction, which saw the removal of Sen. John Carona from that position.

The Chamber and Dannenbaum Engineering Corporation will present Senator Williams on Friday, August 13 at 11:30 a.m. at the Safari Texas Ranch Magnolia Room, located at 11627 FM 1464 in Richmond.

In 2002, after three terms in the Texas House of Representatives, Williams was elected to serve as State Senator for District 4. He is a member of the Texas Society of CPAs, an outspoken advocate for Texas taxpayers and a recognized and respected leader in budgetary issues. The Texas A&M graduate currently serves as President of Woodforest Financial Services, an affiliate of Woodforest National Bank in the Woodlands.

The luncheon is also sponsored in part by Allen Boone Humphries Robinson, LLP, Amegy Bank of Texas, HCSS Construction Software, and Republic Services, Inc. Corporate Tables and other sponsorship opportunities are still available. For sponsorship information, contact Mia Monroe at 281-342-5464 or mmonroe@CFBCA.org.

Reservations for the luncheon are $30 for Chamber members and $40 for prospective members and guests. After August 10 at noon, a $10 late fee will be added. Cancellations less than 72 hours in advance and “no shows” will be charged. For reservations or more information, call the Chamber at 281-342-5464 or email reservations@CFBCA.org.

On September 9, the Chamber will switch its focus to education. The Chamber’s September Education Luncheon will feature David Thompson of Thompson and Horton, LLP. Horton is a noted expert in legislative issues that affect public education in Texas. The luncheon will be held Safari Texas Ranch.
