Texas Public Policy Foundation

This review is for Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Policy Primer events.
I have attended a number of TPPF’s policy primers events, primarily those that focus on education policy. TPPF consistently delivers great sessions, hosting panelists from all ends of the spectrum to gain a well-​rounded view of the issue at hand. They also choose panelists from various realms of policy and stakeholder groups, ranging from representatives of the legislature, professional organizations, businesses, state agencies, school districts, private foundations, non profits, and others.
Although I may not agree with TPPF’s stance on many policy issues, I appreciate their efforts in providing these forums as an opportunity for people interested in policy to keep in touch with current issues, particularly right before the legislative session. I wish they would host these open events more often!
Also, the sessions are typically held during lunch time, making it easy to attend (especially if you work downtown). The Schlotzsky’s catering is a nice touch as well! I can’t wait to attend their legislative session orientation in January!
