The Council is pleased to announced that Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) will be our featured guest for this year’s Mike Rawlings Annual Lecture program. He will be joined in conversation with Mike Rawlings, discussing the nation’s political divide.
The Mike Rawlings Annual Lecture Series was created to honor Mr. Rawlings for his service to our city - especially for raising the international prominence of the City of Dallas while Mayor. He was the longest serving Mayor of Dallas in over 40 years, completing two four-year terms in 2019, and he fostered meaningful relationships with other leaders who proved the wide-reaching impact of local leadership. Since its inception, the Series has hosted Rahm Emmanual (former mayor of Chicago), Keisha Lance Bottoms (former mayor of Atlanta), and, in partnership with the Dallas Morning News, Joe Straus (former Speaker of the TX House of Representatives).
Thank you to our Mike Rawlings Endowed Lecture sponsors:
