Burleson EDC Director Recognized in Top 500 Most Influential People by Fort Worth Inc. Magazine
Fort Worth Inc.'s compilation of 500 of the Most Influential People in Fort Worth was launched in 2018, and identifies Fort Worthians and people in Tarrant County who wield significant influence in industry, philanthropy, nonprofits, government and public policy, economic development, professional services, education, civic affairs, arts, religion, sports, and media, or within their own spheres. In economic development, most notable was that Alex Philips was the only recipient who was not a Fort Worthian or resides in Tarrant County!
