Distinguished Lecture Series
The Distinguished Lecture Series exists to promote learning, connection, and leadership across West Texas. It’s a beloved community series and has been a hallmark program of the Shepperd Leadership Institute since its founding.
The Distinguished Lectures are open to the general public and free of charge thanks to generous donations from the Shepperd Inner Circle.
