People on the Move

A huge promotion, new companies forming ahead of session, a notable retirement, and some damn good barbecue

Yes, I was that reporter in the Bonnen press conference. You can stop asking. This really is the best audience in the world, with many of you saying the journalist got Trumped while the question went unanswered.

We’ll come back to that.

Thanks to the Texas Association of Business for the chance to speak in Dallas at City Club this week. It was a very informative event where Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley said with some glee that Empower Texan’s Chairman Tim Dunn lost a senator in the Fort Worth area in last week’s elections. It’s really just too bad.

Great to see so many of you last night at the Sine Die Smokers BBQ Party. POTM is coming out a little early this morning so that I can remind you the cookers are out there again today and you should go get some for lunch. The meat is good, y'all and they're “cookin' for a cause” – raising money for the Central Texas Food Bank. Stop by from 11:30am to 2:30 this afternoon at 1111 Guadalupe. It's in the alley across from the Westgate. You know where it is. They’ll also be there for happy hour from 4 to 7 and I think you can get sausage wraps all day. That’s what I heard. Go ask Gavin.

A lot of big news, meantime, in the lobby world. Plenty of new hires and several new companies forming ahead of the session. Good luck in your new ventures. By the way, I’m taking the week off from this column for Thanksgiving. But if you’ve got career news to share please send it along and we’ll be sure to get to it the following week. ksbraddock@gmail.com is the email address and please use POTM in the subject line.

That would make this the Thanksgiving edition of People on the Move:
