I’m here at Texas A&M’s Zone Club, within the confines of Kyle Field, where the 2007 Aggie 100 were just announced.
Guest speakers included Richard Scruggs, Executive Director of the CNVE; Bill Jones, the Chairman of the Texas A&M University Board of Regents; Dr. Eddie J. Davis, President of Texas A&M; Dr. Ricky Griffin, the Interim Dean of the Mays School; and yours truly to give the details on the honorees for the Class of 2007.
My speaking role was limited, but the role of PKF Texas in the background and verification process was an enjoyable and tedious process. I want to thank John Stephenson, my assistant for all his help.
Over 650 people attended the Awards Luncheon today. The event was sold out several weeks ago without and marketing effort and is now the hottest ticket on campus!
Major sponsors of the event include: Texas Business Journals (there will be a special section in each of the 4 major cities in Texas); The Association of Former Students, Bill Miller B-B-Q, Hollinden Professional Services Marketing, Research Valley Partnership, Infinity Pro Sports, and PKF Texas.
In addition, the CEO of the #1 ranked Aggie business (REDE), spoke and Christine Hollinden announced the creation of the Aggie 100 Scholars program a new student scholarship funded by the honorees of the Aggie 100 program.
The singing cadets kicked off the event and followed by lunch.
The highlight of the day was the countdown to the actual honorees.
