Our special in person speaker will be Congressman Roger Williams, who is Chairman of the House committee on Small Business. Congressman Williams represents the 25th congressional district of Texas which is located in North Texas and stretches from Tarrant County in the east to Callahan County in the west.
Williams was raised in the Fort Worth area and attended TCU, where he was an All-Southwest Conference baseball player and named to TCU’s All-Decade Team for the 1960s. Upon graduating, Williams was drafted by the Atlanta Braves and played in their farm system for many years before deciding to begin a new career as a small business owner and the head baseball coach at TCU.
In 2012, Williams was elected to Congress and has been the voice for Main Street America and families across the country. For over 50 years, he has run a family-owned car dealership and calf-cow operation. His real-world business experience has made him an effective leader and legislator.
Williams is one of the few business owners in Congress and understands first-hand the effects of increased taxes, government regulation, and bureaucracy that hurt small businesses and economic growth.
We will also be presenting checks to the winners of the NTAGGL Scholarship. |
