In addition to the numerous educational and networking opportunities provided during the Summit, delegates will also experience the culture of the North Texas area. Guests will be treated to an authentic Mexican food meal at Fort Worth’s legendary, 1,000+ seat, Joe T. Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant.

Delegates will experience the city’s cultural district by dining and attending a private gallery viewing in the 53,000 square foot Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. The museum’s forty-foot-high transparent walls of glass framed in metal provide breathtaking views of the large reflecting pond, outdoor sculpture, and the landscaped grounds.

The Fort Worth/Dallas metroplex is home to many professional sports teams including the Texas Rangers baseball club.  This American League franchise plays in Arlington, next door to the new home of the Dallas Cowboys and just twenty minutes from TCU.  The Texas Rangers, established in 1961, was previously owned and managed by President George W. Bush.  Well-known former Rangers include Nolan Ryan, Alex Rodriguez, and Juan Gonzalez.
 
As a feature of the Inaugural Summit, the franchise will host delegates for a special tour and discussion on leadership on Friday afternoon at the Ballpark.  Dale Petroskey, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Community Development will be speaking to the delegates on leadership and his unique experiences.  In addition to his work with the Rangers, he has served as the president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, an executive with the National Geographic Society, and an Assistant Press Secretary to President Ronald Reagan.
 
These events will allow delegates time to build relationships, share ideas, and see how Fort Worth shapes TCU and the Mountain West.
