Shepperd Inner Circle

The Shepperd Inner Circle supports the Distinguished Lecture Series. Our generous Inner Circle donors underwrite the cost of the Distinguished Lectures and ensure the community series remains both free of charge and open to the public to promote learning, connection, and leadership across West Texas.

As a token of appreciation, our Shepperd Inner Circle members enjoy:

• an invitation to include the member and one guest to private receptions held for the Distinguished Lecture speaker
• an opportunity to have a photo taken with the speaker and/or receive an autographed book from the speaker, when available
• reserved seating at all Distinguished Lecture events

Membership to the Shepperd Inner Circle comes with a tax-deductible donation of $1,500 to The University of Texas Permian Basin. Secure your membership for the 2024-2025 speaker series before September 15, 2024 at a reduced price of $1,200. You may donate online here, or via check by mailing your donation to the address below. Please note on the memo line of your check: Shepperd Inner Circle.

Thank you for your support of The University of Texas Permian Basin, the Shepperd Leadership Institute, and its meaningful Distinguished Lecture Series!
