Topic: Education and the needs of Texas now and in 2036
Speaker: A.J. Rodriguez, Executive Vice President, Texas 2036

About Texas 2036:
In 2036, Texas turns 200. By then, 10 million more Texans will call our state home. Growth has been a part of Texas’ past, present and future, but it will bring new challenges as we try to preserve the best parts of Texas and expand opportunity for all Texans.
 
That’s where Texas 2036 comes in – they’re working to engage Texans in an honest conversation about these big challenges. Together, they’ll offer non-partisan ideas and modern solutions that are grounded in research and data to break through the gridlock on issues that matter most to all Texans.
