GHDC Regular Meeting, 9-11am Election of Officers
Guest Speaker: Randall R. Morton, Founder and President of
The Progressive Forum.
The aim of
Houston’s new civic speaker organization is to enrich our democracy and culture by presenting the greatest minds from all the fields of human endeavor—the sciences and humanities as well as politics and public affairs. Our progressive viewpoint is rooted in the mainstream constitutional, enlightenment, and egalitarian values of America’s founding fathers, a bedrock of moderate values that need affirming, now more than ever.
We’re pioneering a new model in the field of public affairs to deliver a higher quality experience to larger audiences. We use the finest theaters and venues, we pay speaker fees to present the world’s top intellectual and cultural stars, and we use intensive marketing and convenient box office services. Ticket sales cover only a portion of our costs, and we depend on our sponsors to provide this high level of quality. We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.
Election of Officers will be held at this regular meeting. Nominations will be taken from the floor, but the proposed slate of candidates for 2007 is:
President, Max Beauregard
Vice Pres, ???
Secretary, Henry Weisborn
Treasurer, Vicki Bellow
