Alumni Association

About the Alumni Association

The objective for the Alumni Association is to connect TBHF scholars and veterans to each other, as well as to Directors and Legends. Our goal is to continue inspiring alumni members long after they have received their Future Texas Business Legend Award and build a sense of community among our recipients.

As an Alumni Association member, you are part of a legacy of exceptional students, Veterans and entrepreneurs.  You are also now part of an exclusive network of business professionals and Legends throughout our state. Members enjoy a series of exclusive benefits, like invitations to our virtual programming and in-person events, including our annual Induction Ceremony.

Membership is only $50 a year to support association activities. Joining the Alumni Association is a powerful way to pay forward the Hall of Fame’s investment in your success, continue to benefit from the Hall of Fame network, and gain eligibility for exclusive mentoring and learning opportunities.

* Junior Director

junior director

In 2021 we introduced the Junior Director Program. This in an invitation only membership that is extended to former award recipients who exhibit consistent participation, leadership, and innovation within the organization. These members demonstrate the qualities that would make for a great future Director one day. Junior Directors pay an annual fee of $250 per year and receive additional benefits, including priority event registration and access to Director-only events. If you have questions about the Junior Director membership, please contact Meredith Walker at mwalker@texasbusiness.org.
