The Texas Lyceum is an association of Texans whose purposes are:
- to identify and develop the next generation of top leadership in the State of Texas;
- to educate its Directors by identifying and exploring the interrelationships of the major issues facing Texas;
- to help bring a better understanding of these issues to the state’s key decision makers; and
- to promote an appreciation of the responsibilities of stewardship of the values, traditions, and resources of Texas.
The Lyceum acts as a catalyst to bring together diverse opinions and expertise to focus on national and state issues, and seeks to emphasize constructive private sector, public sector and individual responses to the issues.
To accomplish these purposes, the Lyceum conducts periodic public forums, publishes the Lyceum Journal, produces the Texas Lyceum Poll, and convenes programs for the Directors to explore and discuss key economic and social issues of the state and nation.
The Texas Lyceum is comprised of a Board of Directors from across the state. These 96 men and women have demonstrated leadership abilities not only in their own community, but across the State. They are active, involved and interested; they are eager to contribute their talents and time to the betterment of Texas.
