Reviews

"Our members consistently request updates from the leaders at The Texas Tribune. Their updates are consistent, unbiased and on-point, and we always walk away much more knowledgeable about the subject at hand."

— Tracy Ginsburg, Ed.D., Texas Association of School Business Officials

"Texas Tribune’s speakers bureau consistently delivers exceptional, thoughtful, and dynamic journalists and thought leaders for events. Texas Tribune speakers are engaging and connect well with diverse audiences, bringing sharp insight and timely perspective on a wide range of topics."

— Jennifer Waisath Harris, JWH Communications

"We have been fortunate to have Texas Tribune executives speak to our organization over the years. They are absolutely phenomenal. Their knowledge of conditions on the ground truly separates this team from other Texas politics speakers. Each year as we plan our events, the first contact we make is to the Tribune to secure speakers, and then we build our schedule from there. The staff is just as fantastic … easy to work with, prompt and flexible. The entire experience is both professional and exceptional!"

— Rachelle Kanak, Fort Bend Economic Development Council

"The Texas Tribune's yearly keynote presentation at the TEDC’s Annual Conference is the highlight of our event. The speaker always shares an honest assessment of what is going on in the world and how that affects Texas and Texans. The keynote is not only informative and engaging, it is truly valuable to our members and their communities."
