TEXAS LYCEUM ASSOCIATION INC

The Texas Lyceum is the Lone Star State’s premiere non-profit non-partisan leadership organization designed to identify emerging and ongoing economic and social state issues, identify and cultivate future leaders of Texas and promote civil discourse in and around our state’s most pressing public policy issues.

Forty years ago, a group of young Texans from the business, professional and academic communities came together at Bent Tree Country Club in Dallas to discuss an idea. The idea: that Texas was at a turning point in its history and had an opportunity—indeed, a responsibility—to become a great state. These leaders concluded there was a need to bring together the various segments of state in a nonpartisan, nonpolitical and non-adversarial setting to solve the problems facing Texas.
