Join us for DCFR’s annual holiday dinner at the Arts District Mansion featuring our distinguished guest, Ross Perot Jr., Chairman of Hillwood and The Perot Companies, and a leading voice in business, civic, and national leadership. A visionary developer and former U.S. Air Force pilot, Mr. Perot has shaped North Texas through transformative projects like Fort Worth Alliance Airport and continues to drive policies that advance innovation and opportunity as Chair of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.
Mr. Perot will share insights on North Texas’s expanding role in global trade and geopolitics, exploring how the Dallas–Fort Worth region has become a strategic hub linking North America to the world. From energy and aerospace to manufacturing and logistics, the region’s economic dynamism now carries significant weight in shaping U.S. competitiveness and influence abroad.
As global supply chains realign and trade relationships evolve, this conversation promises a compelling look at how North Texas sits at the intersection of commerce, diplomacy, and national strategy. We hope you’ll join us for this special evening as we celebrate the season and engage with one of our region’s most accomplished leaders.
