The mission of the Dallas/Fort WorthCommittee for Heritage is to extend the influence of conservative ideas and principles in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and to support Heritage’s Mission and Vision for America, by recruiting new members to the President’s Club and educating local policymakers and their influencers about Heritage’s policy recommendations.

Community Committee Members are leaders in the DFW metro area and supporters of The Heritage Foundation. At the invitation of Heritage’s President, Ed Feulner, these members are asked to undertake two key responsibilities:

• Introduce Heritage and our ideas to policymakers and those who influence policymakers;
• Lead Heritage’s fundraising efforts in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area.
