The Texas Trailblazers Award Luncheon will honor the esteemed Steves Family for legacy family history and philanthropy. We are pleased to announce keynote speaker Catherine Nixon Cooke, who will discuss methods on how to research the origin stories of individuals, families and businesses, based on the work she has accomplished as an award-winning author.
The Texas Trailblazers Awards Luncheon is part of the two-day Conference on Texas: Portraits of Texas, Untold Stories, March 23-24. Attendees will dive into Texas’s wild and vivid lands, including its people, their resilience and how they affected or adapted to ever-developing Texas. Subjects will include personal stories from the families of Erasmo Seguin, Ignacio Perez, the Glasscocks and early oil discovery, C. H. Guenther, the people of Los Adaes – Texas’s first capital, the Steves family, the Raba family and others.
