(Community Matters) I shouldn’t complain, I know others are scheduled in 5 and 10 minute slots but a day of back to back meetings, often every 30 minutes, is just grueling. Yet, they are often the most rewarding. Launched the day with oncology surgeon Dr. Declan Fleming. Marion Cimbala and I asked Declan to breakfast for feedback on our understanding of Austin medical infrastructure for breast cancer as well as his feedback on BCS vision and strategy. Of course, Declan gave us even more. Didn’t realize he was on TCMS executive board. Great stuff.
Texans for Obama. Second breakfast with Texans for Obama founders and their closest vote getting friends: Ian Davis, David Kobierowski, J.D. Gins, Ken Flippin, Mario Champion, Crystal Viagran and Dan Grant plus Chicago insiders: Juan Sepulveda and Teresa Nino. Houston is like another state itself. More Hispanics in Houston than in the Valley. More unregistered voters in Harris County than the rest of the state combined. Approx 1.5mm unregistered African Americans & Hispanics in Texas – 450kish African Americans. Turning Texas Blue a great deal about Harris County.
Auditor meetings, staff meetings, brainstorming about Corporate Social Responsibility Opportunity: Amanda Chiampi, Chelsea McCullough, Ken Gladish, Matt Kourie, Ann Stafford and Marion. Is the Valley (the other one) ahead of Austin or better at marketing its programs? Which CEO leads the pack? Which Austin companies? Cutting edge work?
Thank gosh he went easy on me today – a workout with my compadre, Kent Mayes.
Two Fountains and ST new play meetings with Natalie George who’s going to help us produce both – how do I convey relief? MM re: Two Fountains.
A way overpriced dinner at Triangle’s The Flying Saucer, though loved sitting outside with ST and . . . what a scene.
