The details of Texas 2036 – a long-term plan to sustain Texas as the “best place to live and do business” through the state’s bicentennial and beyond – are still in the works. Tom Luce, an SMU-alum and member of the Library of Congress Board, is championing the project.
Luce spoke about Texas 2036 in February at the Ruth Sharp Altshuler Tocqueville Society luncheon, a United Way of Metropolitan Dallas event honoring past recipients of the SMU Erik Jonsson Award for individuals who “epitomize the spirit of public virtue.” Luce won the award in 2004.
