Lewisville Talks - City Speaker Series
The City of Lewisville is pleased to present Tom Luce, founder and chairman of Texas 2036, as our next guest in the new  Lewisville Talks – City Speaker Series , on Thursday, May 9, 7 p.m, at the MCL Grand. This series brings national influencers to Lewisville to discuss current events, trends, and ideas that can enrich our lives and create a discussion forum for the future of communities, residents, and community leaders. 

Informed by decades of public policy experience at the local, state, and national level, Luce founded Texas 2036 amid growing concern that without careful consideration, planning, and decision-making regarding the future, the tremendous opportunities Texas offers may not exist for future generations. Texas 2036 uses data, research, and leading expertise to enable Texans to make informed decisions with the goal of ensuring Texas continues to be the best place to live and do business through its bicentennial in 2036 and beyond.
