The Texas Association of Business (TAB) brought one of the biggest, most well attended events of the year: the Annual Legislative Conference.
This dynamic two day conference provides essential updates on Texas policy-making for your business. This year's agenda included a US Senate candidate's forum with Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, Tom Leppert, Ted Cruz and Craig James.

During Representative Linda Harper-Brown's career, she has focused on keeping Texas businesses friendly and promoting the business atmosphere in Irving. She recently was recognized by the Texas Association of Business (TAB) for her efforts and was awarded "Champion of Free Enterprise."
President of TAB, Bill Hammond said, "By voting for the interests of Texas' business, Representative Linda Harper Brown also supported all the taxpayers of Texas. Without a strong business climate, Texas won't have new jobs, the economy will stagnate and the collection of tax dollars for state and local governments and schools will fall dramatically. Representative Harper Brown understands that, and took the steps needed to ensure Texas' business climate stays healthy through this biennium."
