Topic: North Texas | Rethink Prison
On May 6, 2015, the North Texas Commission was joined by Natalie Baker and Bryan Kelley from the Prison Entrepreneurship Program to discuss life after prison.
Our country has a prison problem. One out of 100 Americans is in jail or prison today—a total population of 2.3 million, which is equivalent to the size of Dallas, Fort Worth and Plano combined. One out of 15 Americans will go to jail or prison in his lifetime.
For many, prison is “out of sight, out of mind.” But it becomes everyone’s problem when prisons continue to bloat with repeat “customers” who understand their role in society—steal, kill and hustle. For those who would rather focus on preventing crime by working with at-risk populations who have never committed a crime, consider this: prisons are the largest concentrated pools of future criminals. That’s a conversation starter for real crime prevention solutions.
The driving passion of PEP manifests itself in a progressive nonprofit solution that is single-handedly changing the way private institutions and state governments view correctional facilities. This passion is based on the idea that prison inmates—especially former gang leaders, drug dealers and those with violent offenses—have a massive reservoir of untapped potential. PEP seeks to redirect these men into legitimate enterprises, leveraging their proven entrepreneurial skill-sets to inspire an even deeper change.
Topic: North Texas | Who Cares? The Data Behind Voter Apathy
The North Texas Commission's free Topic: North Texas webinar series presented by Verizon dissects Voter Apathy with their very own Britton Cunningham.
Although early voting begins on October 19, the data from previous years illustrates that this year's election won't drive many voters to the polls. But the bigger question is WHY?
Key Insights into Voter Apathy:
• Deep-dive into the millennial generation
• Compare and contrast various demographics
• Dissect voting trends in Texas and the U.S.
• Discuss opportunities for engagement
Britton Cunningham is the NTC’s Marketing Events Manager and “Millennial-In-Residence.” A Plano native, she graduated from the University of Missouri's School of Journalism, where she studied strategic communication and consumer behaviors. While at Missouri, she worked on research projects about Millennials and Gen Z and was asked to present on her findings at the International Media Conference in Seoul, South Korea as only undergraduate speaker at the event. After working in advertising as a consumer profiler, she joined the NTC team and now presents key insights into statistical data on the next generations to city councils and corporate executive teams.

Unlike other high-speed rail projects around the country, this landmark project is uniquely Texan in that it is being built using a market-led approach and is being backed by private investors, not public funding. This project respects Texas values, advances the state and local economies, and keeps our state on track for future growth. High-speed rail is one of the most environmentally-friendly forms of transportation technology available, and will help keep the Texas countryside rural!

De escalating Workplace Conflict
If you manage people or processes, you most likely experience near constant workplace conflict. From warring egos to workplace stress and heavy workloads, the American workplace is wrought with conflict. Yet, few managers receive any training in conflict management and dispute resolution. This lack of effective conflict management skills in the workplace is costing corporations approximately $359 billion in paid hours. It doesn’t have to be this way. Robyn Short, a mediator, facilitator and conflict management trainer, will share insights and approaches that will illuminate paths to peace in your work environment.

The bank allows U.S. companies and workers to compete on a level playing field against our foreign competitors that receive extensive support from their own respective export credit agencies.
Since the 2008 financial crisis, the Ex-Im Bank has helped more than I,200 Texas companies finance more than $l9 billion in exports - more than any other state - in areas such as energy, technology and heavy manufacturing.
Air Tractor, based in Olney, Texas, has been producing agricultural aircraft for more than 50 years.
Topic: North Texas | Innovating Ideas for Air Quality Improvement
On Wednesday, August 6, 2014, Michelle Corson joined the North Texas Commission for the fourth webinar in a special Topic: North Texas series about ozone and regional air quality.
Michelle Corson is the Founder/CEO of Champion Impact Capital, a group that specializes in utilizing social impact bonds to address persistent and expensive community challenges, such as air quality and homelessness.

During this program, Ms. Corson illustrates how social impact bonds can be used to make a positive difference in our community, with a focus on their ability to improve regional air quality.
Topic: North Texas | Ozone and The Clean Air Act
In conjunction with Air North Texas's Clean Air Action Day on Friday, June 27, 2014, the North Texas Commission and the Clean Air Texas Initiative presented this special Topic: North Texas Webinar about ozone in North Texas and the Clean Air Act. This was the third in a special series of webinars during the summer (2014) about ozone and regional air quality.
Last summer (2013), our region's ozone level was 87 parts per billion (ppb), which is still too high to pass the EPA's standard of 75 ppb. Consequently, the Clean Air Act requires the State of Texas to draft a "State Implementation Plan" (SIP) which details specific actions that the state intends to take to bring our ozone levels down to an acceptable level. Although a complex and daunting document, the SIP impacts North Texas in countless ways, from power plants to how we fill up our cars.
Chris Klaus and Mindy Mize are two of North Texas's most respected leaders on air quality planning and are helping to draft the next SIP for the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Their program will provide insight into the air quality regulatory process and how this next round of ozone planning will impact North Texas.
Topic: North Texas | Health Impacts of Ozone Pollution
The North Texas Commission and the Clean Air Texas Initiative presented the first in a series of Topic: North Texas Webinars about our region's air quality with Dr. Tonya McDonald of Children's Medical Center. Currently, ozone levels in North Texas are too high to pass standards set in the Clean Air Act, placing the region at risk of increased government regulation and the loss of federal highway funding. Throughout the spring and summer, we will host a series of webinars about various air quality topics.
Dr. McDonald, a Harvard Medical School graduate, will present on the relationship between ozone pollution and public health, including ozone's impact on asthma. Her interest in the environment’s impact on asthmatics was born after observing the effects of air quality on patients exposed to both cement plant pollution and seasonal pollens from area farms while caring for the children of services members in Heidelberg, Germany. Her presentation will shed light on how ozone pollution impacts the health of our region's residents.
Topic: North Texas | #BikeFriendlyNTX
In conjunction with City of Fort Worth's Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 16, the North Texas Commission and the Clean Air Texas Initiative presented a special Topic: North Texas Webinar about the state of bicycling infrastructure in North Texas. Jared White, City of Dallas and Julia McCleeary, City of Fort Worth shared the latest updates and initiatives to promote cycling in North Texas.
Last month, Fort Worth celebrated the one-year anniversary for "B-Cycle,” the city's bicycle sharing program. In its first year, users of the service have logged more than 25,000 trips and traveled 100,000 miles. Fort Worth's Mayor Betsy Price is an avid cyclist and known for her "Rolling Town Halls". The City of Dallas is in the midst of expanding its own cycling infrastructure through the build out of the 2011 City Bike Plan.
