Center for Houston’s Future’s signature fall event, Dinner and Conversation presented by Harvey-Cleary, will feature an exciting conversation, A Texas Talk: Reflecting on the Past, Envisioning the Future, between two important Texas voices.

We will also present our annual Eugene H. Vaughan Civic Leadership Award to Marek Companies President and CEO Stan Marek, for his long record of outstanding leadership, service and impact in multiple areas across our region.
