2024 Dinner and Conversation
- This event has passed.
Center for Houston’s Future’s signature fall event, Dinner and Conversation presented by Harvey|Harvey-Cleary, featured an exciting conversation, A Texas Talk: Reflecting on the Past, Envisioning the Future, between two important Texas voices. Stephen Harrigan, the award-winning author of 12 fiction and non-fiction books, including Big Wonderful Thing, a sweeping narrative of Texas history, appeared in conversation with Sonal Shah, CEO of the Texas Tribune, who has a long record of social impact work across multiple sectors.
We were honored to present the Eugene H. Vaughan Civic Leadership Award to Stan Marek, President and CEO of Marek Companies, for his long record of outstanding leadership, service and contributions across our region, including his tireless focus on sensible immigration reform.
David E. Harvey Jr. and Joe Cleary, co-chairmen of the board of Harvey|Harvey-Cleary, chaired our annual community engagement and thought leadership event.
