SUMMARY:BRIDGE HOUSTON Beyond the Job: Building Systems of Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Step beyond workforce gaps to explore how networks\, trust\, and local systems expand access to opportunity.\n\n\nWorkforce development isn’t just about placement—it’s about belonging\, access\, and navigating a shifting economy. In this session\, we’ll explore how opportunity emerges when systems are designed to reflect the realities of the people they serve. Rather than focus on short-term fixes\, we’ll hear from regional leaders who are weaving together education\, business\, and community to build more adaptive and connected opportunity ecosystems. Participants will consider how relationships\, not just programs\, create durable pathways to economic mobility. \n \nParking Information \nThe session will be held at 1801 Main Street\, Houston\, TX 77002. Parking is available in the attached garage\, with the entrance located on Fannin Street. Parking will be complimentary for all exits after 6:00 pm. We recommend arriving 5-10 minutes early to allow time for parking and check-in.

SUMMARY:DESIGN YOUR LIFE: A Roadmap For The Season Ahead
DESCRIPTION:An intro workshop for those facing transition\, considering a pivot\, or curious about what life could be.\n\n\nWhat if your next chapter could be your most aligned\, resilient\, and whole? \nDesign Your Life is a reflective and interactive mini-workshop for senior fellows who are anticipating or navigating change—professionally or personally—and are ready to begin aligning their time\, energy\, and purpose. \nEspecially for those who are: \n\nEntering or navigating retirement\nExperiencing a life transition\nHungry for more meaning and fulfillment\n\nParticipants will leave with: \n\nThe basics of a roadmap for the season ahead.\nRenewed confidence in the face of change.\nA renewed sense of story\, resilience\, and possibility.\n\nNote: Those interested in continuing the journey will be invited to participate in an ongoing community of practice scheduled for early 2026. \nSpace is limited — register soon to confirm your spot. \n\n\n\nMatt C. Barnes is a Houston-based storyteller\, community builder\, and social entrepreneur who has been following fulfillment and purpose wherever it leads. \nIn the last 6-years\, powered mostly by God\, Guinness\, and Gluten (not necessarily in that order)\, he has: \n\nEarned recognition as a Moth Storytelling finalist\, entertaining audiences with personal narratives that highlight resilience and purpose.\nBecome a frequent radio and online personality offering innovative and countercultural (some would call it misguided and reckless) perspectives on parents\, education\, and radical youth leadership.\nFrustrated with the slow pace of change in education\, Matt co-founded the annual Young Entrepreneur Award (YEA.education)\, which celebrates youth who break with tradition and address real-world challenges outside of school.\nInspired by Father Greg Boyle and Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles\, Matt became a baker’s apprentice\, then co-founded Rise Again Bread\, a bakery that houses\, employs\, and trains homeless men and women to make amazing bread (instagram @Rise_Again_Bread).\n\n \nMatt’s failures are too catastrophic and numerous to count (including his failed HISD school board run in 2019 — proving that some failures are blessings in disguise). But\, through it all\, Matt has slowly learned how to fail forward\, how to design a life of fulfillment\, and how to help others do the same. Matt now coaches weirdos like him who are seeking to live life on purpose. \n\n\n\nMike Marsh is a three-time Olympian\, educator\, and reinvention strategist whose journey is shaped as much by resilience as it is by achievement. He’s moved through the peaks of elite performance and the valleys of transition\, learning how to rebuild with quiet strength\, clarity\, and unwavering integrity. \nFrom the Olympic track to leadership roles behind the scenes\, Mike has spent his life in spaces where excellence is expected—but character is often tested. He’s weathered pressure\, recalibrated through change\, and emerged not diminished\, but sharpened. \nAlong the way\, he has: \n– Served as Head Men’s Relay Coach for Team USA\, where he championed athlete-first preparation and performance—even when it meant pushing against comfortable norms.– Taught as a Bible school instructor\, where teaching became a space of mutual transformation—challenging others to grow while deepening his own sense of purpose\, faith\, and voice.– Discovered that resilience isn’t forged in the spotlight\, but in the quiet\, unseen work of staying rooted—through seasons of loss\, waiting\, and reinvention. \nNow in what he calls “the second half of life\,” Mike is exploring what it means to move forward with purpose—not chasing titles\, but living in alignment. His focus is on walking with those who feel called to something more—people ready to shift\, to heal\, and to build lives that reflect who they truly are. \nHis story is a reminder that resilience isn’t about bouncing back—it’s about moving forward with deeper roots and clearer direction.

SUMMARY:LEGACY BREAKFAST: Leadership that Lasts
DESCRIPTION:The Legacy Breakfast is a moderated discussion about successfully building a sustainable family legacy in business and community.\n\n\nJoin us for “Legacy Breakfast: Leadership that Lasts“ \nThe Legacy Breakfast will be an engaging dialogue with Stan Marek and Howard Tellepsen\, both have successfully built sustainable\, multigenerational family legacies in their businesses and in the community\, moderated by Rick Figeroa. The conversation will center Stan and Howard’s leadership journeys\, family stories and strategies for building an enduring business that carries from generation to generation. \n\n\nMEET STAN MAREK\nStan Marek is the president and chief executive officer of the Marek Family of Companies\, one of the largest interior contractors in the Southwest. A native Texan\, Stan earned a Bachelor of Science degree in finance from Texas A&M University. He began his working career in the drywall industry during summers in high school and continued part-time until completing his tour of active duty with the United States Marine Corps Reserves. \nIn 1970\, Stan worked as a journeyman carpenter on large commercial projects before joining the Marek Companies\, eventually becoming president in 1982. He was a member of the founding group of the Construction Career Collaborative and has been sponsor of the Rational Middle Immigration social media platform since its inception. Stan is the co-author with Loren Steffy of ‘Deconstructed’ an insider’s view of illegal immigration and the building trades. In 2015 he was inducted to the Texas A&M’s Constructors Hall of Fame. \n\n\n\nMEET HOWARD T. TELLEPSEN\, JR\nHoward Tellepsen is Chairman of Tellepsen\, a fourth generation\, family owned and operated business\, providing commercial\, institutional\, and industrial construction services in Houston since 1909. \nTellepsen has made a multi-generational dedication to projects of significance and to giving back to the community. Known as “builders & believers\,” Tellepsen is drawn to opportunities to be a part of something that is “larger than themselves.” Tellepsen has impacted the lives of five generations of Houstonians\, building places where they work\, play\, live\, learn\, and worship. \nHoward received his Bachelor of Civil Engineering from Georgia Tech\, where he served as Student Body President\, is a trustee emeritus of the Georgia Tech Foundation\, was elected to the Engineering Hall of Fame (2016)\, received the 2012 Alumni Distinguished Service Award\, the 2015 Dean Griffin Community Service Award\, and established the Howard T. Tellepsen Endowed Chair in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. \nHoward is a member of the board of directors of the YMCA of Greater Houston (Life Member\, past Chairman\, and benefactor of the Tellepsen Family Downtown YMCA); YMCA Foundation (past Chairman); Sam Houston Area Council\, Boy Scouts of America (Life Member\, past Chairman\, benefactor of the Tellepsen Scout Camp)\, and Distinguished Eagle Scout; Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors\, Treasurer; Thermal Energy Corporation (TECO) Texas Medical Center\, Executive Committee. \nPrevious board service includes: St. Luke’s Health\, Executive Committee/St. Luke’s Foundation\, past Chairman; Enterprise Bank\, past Chairman; Edith and Daniel Ripley Foundation\, past President; Petroleum Club of Houston\, past President. \nHoward is also a Senior Fellow in the American Leadership Forum (ALF)\, and is a long-standing member of Young Presidents Organization (YPO Gold). He also received the Houston Business Journal’s 2021 Lifetime Achievement Award. \nHoward and his wife of 58 years\, Carolyn\, have four married sons (all involved at Tellepsen) and 10 grandchildren. \n\n\n\nMEET RICK FIGUEROA\nRick is a revered community leader and small business owner who is actively involved in a variety of organizations\, including the Texas Association of Business\, Memorial Hermann Health System’s Board of Directors and Kingdom Advisors Champions. He graduated from Texas A&M University in 1991 with a B.B.A. in Accounting and received his Masters in Agriculture\, Land Economics & Real Estate in 1992. Rick has worked as an internal auditor at Halliburton\, Duty Free\, Texas Commerce Bank and as a real estate consultant at Arthur Andersen. \nIn 1997\, he became a financial advisor at Merrill Lynch where he was awarded the Leadership in Diversity and Inclusion Award (2007) and Greater Houston Complex Values Award (2007). In 2009 during the financial crisis\, Rick and his partner\, Stephen Caton moved their book of business to UBS Financial Services to avoid becoming retail bankers after Bank of America’s takeover of Merrill Lynch. \nIn 2020\, Rick co-founded Patron Partners\, a wealth management firm in Houston\, to better serve his clients and incorporate conservative values-based investing into portfolios. This move was expedited by two back-to-back events: (1) UBS barring Rick from using the conference room for a Bible study outside of work hours and (2) an internal memo that circulated in January 2020\, instructing UBS employees how to change their gender in their HR file. \nRick is among the pioneers of values-based-investing. He believes in the power of elevating and engaging with corporate America instead of simply eliminating stocks of companies run by wayward woke boards. His firm\, Patron Partners utilizes Bowyer Research to vote client proxies based upon conservative Christian values\, giving a voice to the silent anti-woke majority. Thanks to Bowyer Research and the Alliance for Defending Freedom\, Patron Partners’ clients are further empowered to engage with corporations by filing shareholder proposals to be voted on at publicly traded companies’ annual meetings. Patron Partners currently has shareholder proposals on file with the following companies to be voted on at their 2025 annual meetings: Starbucks\, Blackrock\, Disney\, Caterpillar\, Pfizer\, American Express\, AbbVie\, Coca-Cola\, Boeing and Morgan Stanley. In fact\, during a recent meeting with Starbucks Investor Relations\, the Starbucks representatives were unaware that their own policy excluded conservative and Christian organizations from the company’s charitable giving match; In response\, Starbucks asked if Patron Partners’ client would remove her shareholder proposal if Starbucks changed their policy to match all charitable donations to 501(c)(3) organizations. (As of December 31\, 2024\, Starbucks is currently seeking internal approval to effectuate this change.) \nIn 2016\, Texas Governor Greg Abbott appointed Rick to serve as a commissioner on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation\, one of the largest agencies in Texas\, which oversees approximately forty state licenses. As chairman\, a position he has held since 2019\, Rick launched a probationary licensing program to enable formerly incarcerated electricians and A/C repairmen to reenter the workforce and reduce their chances of recidivism. He also reduced unnecessary barriers to becoming a barber and/or cosmetologist in Texas by reducing the hours required for licensing. Prior to serving on TDLR\, Texas Governor Rick Perry appointed him to the Texas Judicial Council\, where he was instrumental in implementing the e-filing system statewide. He is a former member of the National Rifle Association’s Board of Directors and remains active with the Outreach and Grassroots committees. \nIn all areas of life Rick endeavors to establish meaningful lifelong relationships. He is passionate about mentoring and discipling others\, recognizing that he stands on the shoulders of mentors who invested in him. Rick was raised in public housing in Bay City\, Texas by a single mother and is the youngest of eight children. Rick understands the unique calling that God has placed on his life and seeks to help others “get seats at the table.” Rick is an avid supporter of Youth for Christ; he and his family host an annual retreat at their ranch for teens\, many of whom are currently incarcerated or on probation. This fellowship gives them space to enjoy nature and feel that they are loved. He regularly speaks to business students at Rice University\, Texas A&M University & Houston Christian University and enjoys building relationships with these outstanding young leaders. \nRick and his wife live in Brenham\, Texas and have four children. He finds peace by working cattle on his ranch and entertaining family and friends.

SUMMARY:2024 Leadership Labs - Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Leadership Labs workshops designed to support the activation of the newly commenced Senior Fellows and the broader ALF community.\n\n\nJoin us for the 2024 Leadership Labs! \nLeadership Labs are a set of workshops designed to support the activation of the newly commenced Senior Fellows of classes 59\, 60\, and 61 AND the broader ALF network. \nTraditionally\, the labs have been held as two of the final class sessions within the Fellows program. This year\, the Leadership Labs are open to all Senior Fellows to foster collaboration and connection throughout the ALF network in order to make progress on the leadership challenges we are all facing. \nThe labs are an opportunity to turn up the heat on an issue of deep importance to you\, galvanize those who you need to include in your issue\, and practice creating collective action. This is a space to build on\, or revisit\, the learnings and skills gained throughout the Fellows program year\, and to practice those skills in community with other ALF Senior Fellows and Facilitators. The labs will be held on two separate days\, Friday March 22\, and Friday\, April 12\, from 9:00am – 4:00pm at 1801 Main Street. \nSenior Fellows will select one track from four different options based on how they want to focus their efforts for their leadership challenge. Check out the details of the four tracks below. You will be asked to identify which track resonates most with you on the following registration page. \n*Please note* \n\nSenior Fellows who register for Leadership Labs are committing to attend both part 1 on March 22 and part 2 on April 12\nThere are limited spots available\nDeadline to register is March 11\n\n\n\nTrack 1 – Feeding the Inner Flame \nIn this track\, the focus will be on the non-negotiable work of self-awareness\, personal growth\, psychological insight\, and values clarification. \nThe fire that transforms the world begins with the flame within leaders. Because leading is relational and is usually measured\, for better and worse\, by material achievement\, we can lose ourselves in our roles\, relationships\, and deliverables. The term burnout was coined by a psychologist to describe his own experience as a visionary community servant-leader. And in a very similar way\, the term self-care was coined by a visionary community servant-leader who had to choose between a literal death in blind service to her community and a strategic pause to ensure that she could continue to serve her values. \nThis track is for Senior Fellows who are: \n\nLooking to build their capacity to lead sustainably and meaningfully\nExperiencing burnout (emotionally exhausted\, cynical\, and/or losing our sense of accomplishment)\nNavigating major professional transitions or life changes\nNeeding time and space to consult their personal compass (or to build one)\n\nYou can expect to gain: \n\nA personal plan for building and tending to the inner flame of leadership\nA set of core terms (including burnout\, self-care\, communities of care\, adaptive resilience\, and others) to guide both inner and external leadership\nA toolbox of initial skills\nAn assessment of current needs and strengths\n\nPlease come prepared with: \n\nA clear articulation of your values\nA reflection or inventory on your current personal state.\n\n\n\nTrack 2 – Lighting the Fire \nIn this track\, the focus will be on determining your next move.You’re ready to light the fire and engage in bridging and dialogue over a specific issue or challenge. You are prepared to stay steady in the mess\, but your next steps are not clear enough to take action. You need support in strong planning and creating a path forward. \nThis track is for Senior Fellows who: \n\nHave an idea for or an interest in a specific issue that impacts their community or organization\, but may not know where to start\, who to contact\, or even if their idea is a good one\nAre inspired or feel a calling to take action on an important issue\nWant to explore ways in which to “reality check” their own ideas\, broaden their lens to include multiple voices and perspectives\, and get feedback from their colleagues on what possible next steps could be\n\nYou can expect to gain: \n\nA clearer sense of what really matters to them about their particular issue\nA sense of where their growth edge on the issue lies\nA pathway of concrete actions steps to guide the next leg of their journey of engagement\, including a powerful question\n\nPlease come prepared with: \n\nThe ability to speak about specific issues or challenges that are capturing your heart or attention\, but that you haven’t yet taken much\, or any\, action on.\n\n\n\nTrack 3 – Building the Fire \nThis track is for those who are currently making moves to address a specific issue.You are already engaged in addressing a specific social\, civic\, or organizational issue. You are currently in the process of tackling root causes and trying different interventions. This track is an interactive dialogue and a powerful opportunity to receive valuable feedback\, tools\, and support to continue making progress on your issue with new experiments and moral courage. \nThis track is for Senior Fellows who: \n\nAre currently taking action on a specific issue\nHave diagnosed the root cause of their chosen social/civic/organizational issue\nAre clarifying actionable experiments (or prototypes) to test innovative solutions to their issue\n\nYou can expect to gain: \n\nA powerful question that will center the work of leading and mobilizing others to action.\nSupport in designing a new intervention to implement for your specific social/civic/organizational issue or concern.\nInsights and feedback from that implemented intervention\n\nPlease come prepared with: \n\nIdentification of the problem or issue you are trying to solve and what steps you have taken thus far\n\n\n\nTrack 4 – Bonfire \nBonfire Track is for those who are ready to go bigger and bolder on an existing organization/project/issue they have been working on already. \nThis track will provide clarity and tools for participants to level up their leadership capacity for greater impact. It will require risk-taking\, courage\, and strong relationships. During Leadership Labs\, participants will be challenged to expand and push boundaries to create sustainable systemic change. \nThis track is for Senior Fellows who: \n\nAre clear in their vision and looking to move their organization/business endeavor/project/issue to the next level\nHave already invested a considerable amount of time and resources toward an issue/project they care about and have a clear plan or intention to create greater impact\nHave proven influence in the areas they want to lead but need to weigh real risk factors and manage losses in order to change systems.\n\nWhat you can expect to gain: \n\nThe practice of designing bold experiments to overcome barriers and intervene in systems you want to change.\nA better understanding on accountability\, and building a Community of Practice that will provide support and resources so you can be resilient in your work.\nClairty on the risks/losses/gains of leading systems change.

SUMMARY:2024 Leadership Labs - Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Leadership Labs workshops designed to support the activation of the newly commenced Senior Fellows and the broader ALF community.\n\n\nJoin us for the 2024 Leadership Labs! \nLeadership Labs are a set of workshops designed to support the activation of the newly commenced Senior Fellows of classes 59\, 60\, and 61 AND the broader ALF network. \nTraditionally\, the labs have been held as two of the final class sessions within the Fellows program. This year\, the Leadership Labs are open to all Senior Fellows to foster collaboration and connection throughout the ALF network in order to make progress on the leadership challenges we are all facing. \nThe labs are an opportunity to turn up the heat on an issue of deep importance to you\, galvanize those who you need to include in your issue\, and practice creating collective action. This is a space to build on\, or revisit\, the learnings and skills gained throughout the Fellows program year\, and to practice those skills in community with other ALF Senior Fellows and Facilitators. The labs will be held on two separate days\, Friday March 22\, and Friday\, April 12\, from 9:00am – 4:00pm at 1801 Main Street. \nSenior Fellows will select one track from four different options based on how they want to focus their efforts for their leadership challenge. Check out the details of the four tracks below. You will be asked to identify which track resonates most with you on the following registration page. \n*Please note* \n\nSenior Fellows who register for Leadership Labs are committing to attend both part 1 on March 22 and part 2 on April 12\nThere are limited spots available\nDeadline to register is March 11\n\n\n\nTrack 1 – Feeding the Inner Flame \nIn this track\, the focus will be on the non-negotiable work of self-awareness\, personal growth\, psychological insight\, and values clarification. \nThe fire that transforms the world begins with the flame within leaders. Because leading is relational and is usually measured\, for better and worse\, by material achievement\, we can lose ourselves in our roles\, relationships\, and deliverables. The term burnout was coined by a psychologist to describe his own experience as a visionary community servant-leader. And in a very similar way\, the term self-care was coined by a visionary community servant-leader who had to choose between a literal death in blind service to her community and a strategic pause to ensure that she could continue to serve her values. \nThis track is for Senior Fellows who are: \n\nLooking to build their capacity to lead sustainably and meaningfully\nExperiencing burnout (emotionally exhausted\, cynical\, and/or losing our sense of accomplishment)\nNavigating major professional transitions or life changes\nNeeding time and space to consult their personal compass (or to build one)\n\nYou can expect to gain: \n\nA personal plan for building and tending to the inner flame of leadership\nA set of core terms (including burnout\, self-care\, communities of care\, adaptive resilience\, and others) to guide both inner and external leadership\nA toolbox of initial skills\nAn assessment of current needs and strengths\n\nPlease come prepared with: \n\nA clear articulation of your values\nA reflection or inventory on your current personal state.\n\n\n\nTrack 2 – Lighting the Fire \nIn this track\, the focus will be on determining your next move.You’re ready to light the fire and engage in bridging and dialogue over a specific issue or challenge. You are prepared to stay steady in the mess\, but your next steps are not clear enough to take action. You need support in strong planning and creating a path forward. \nThis track is for Senior Fellows who: \n\nHave an idea for or an interest in a specific issue that impacts their community or organization\, but may not know where to start\, who to contact\, or even if their idea is a good one\nAre inspired or feel a calling to take action on an important issue\nWant to explore ways in which to “reality check” their own ideas\, broaden their lens to include multiple voices and perspectives\, and get feedback from their colleagues on what possible next steps could be\n\nYou can expect to gain: \n\nA clearer sense of what really matters to them about their particular issue\nA sense of where their growth edge on the issue lies\nA pathway of concrete actions steps to guide the next leg of their journey of engagement\, including a powerful question\n\nPlease come prepared with: \n\nThe ability to speak about specific issues or challenges that are capturing your heart or attention\, but that you haven’t yet taken much\, or any\, action on.\n\n\n\nTrack 3 – Building the Fire \nThis track is for those who are currently making moves to address a specific issue.You are already engaged in addressing a specific social\, civic\, or organizational issue. You are currently in the process of tackling root causes and trying different interventions. This track is an interactive dialogue and a powerful opportunity to receive valuable feedback\, tools\, and support to continue making progress on your issue with new experiments and moral courage. \nThis track is for Senior Fellows who: \n\nAre currently taking action on a specific issue\nHave diagnosed the root cause of their chosen social/civic/organizational issue\nAre clarifying actionable experiments (or prototypes) to test innovative solutions to their issue\n\nYou can expect to gain: \n\nA powerful question that will center the work of leading and mobilizing others to action.\nSupport in designing a new intervention to implement for your specific social/civic/organizational issue or concern.\nInsights and feedback from that implemented intervention\n\nPlease come prepared with: \n\nIdentification of the problem or issue you are trying to solve and what steps you have taken thus far\n\n\n\nTrack 4 – Bonfire \nBonfire Track is for those who are ready to go bigger and bolder on an existing organization/project/issue they have been working on already. \nThis track will provide clarity and tools for participants to level up their leadership capacity for greater impact. It will require risk-taking\, courage\, and strong relationships. During Leadership Labs\, participants will be challenged to expand and push boundaries to create sustainable systemic change. \nThis track is for Senior Fellows who: \n\nAre clear in their vision and looking to move their organization/business endeavor/project/issue to the next level\nHave already invested a considerable amount of time and resources toward an issue/project they care about and have a clear plan or intention to create greater impact\nHave proven influence in the areas they want to lead but need to weigh real risk factors and manage losses in order to change systems.\n\nWhat you can expect to gain: \n\nThe practice of designing bold experiments to overcome barriers and intervene in systems you want to change.\nA better understanding on accountability\, and building a Community of Practice that will provide support and resources so you can be resilient in your work.\nClairty on the risks/losses/gains of leading systems change. You’ll learn tools to manage the risks/losses combined with the tools to influence the gains at a rate you and stakeholders can handle.\n\nPlease come prepared with: \n\nA clear articulation about the problem you’re trying to solve\nReflections on what you’ve created/attempted thus far and where you could use the most help
