Leadership north texas

I attended the North Texas Commission Orientation and Workshop at DFW Airport today. I serve on their board as a representative from Frisco. The NTC is a regional organization that has a purpose of enhancing and promoting the economic vitality and quality of life in the DFW Metroplex. The NTC is a non-profit consortium of businesses, cities, counties, chambers of commerce, economic development entities and higher education institutions in the North Texas Region.

The Commission is the only public-private regional organization committed to enhancing the overall economic vitality and quality of life of North Texas. Some of the solutions they are working on include the 2001 Super Bowl Task Force, Literacy Initiatives, Airport & Aviation Advocacy, Air Quality Initiatives, Logistics Development & Advocacy, Leadership North Texas, Regional Marketing, Regional Water Resources, Surface Transportation Funding, Workforce Development and Innovation Economy Task Force.

Speaking of Leadership North Texas, the next class will begin in January 2009. For more information on the LNT program, contact Dan Petty or Kimberly Walton o the North Texas Commission at 972-621-000 or dan@ntc-dfw.org or Kimberly@ntc-dfw.org
