Building on Texas' forty year legacy of bringing nonprofit, business and community leaders together, OneStar Foundation will co-host a series of service and leadership convenings in 2016 in El Paso, The Rio Grande Valley, and Lubbock. The series seeks to inspire leaders across all sectors by focusing on the nexus of service, leadership and collaboration. Each event is locally driven to meet the needs and aspirations of participants and will encourage cross sector collaboration, highlight promising practices and catalyze strategies to address local issues.
Texas First Lady Cecilia Abbott will be a special guest at all three forums, where she will welcome attendees and provide remarks on volunteerism and service. Mrs. Abbott recently announced the launch of Texanthropy, a new initiative that she will use to promote volunteerism and service to others as her primary focus as First Lady of Texas.
