The Fort Worth Liberty Leadership Council* invites you to “Driven to Lead: How Young Texans Can Shape the Future of Education,” an exclusive, members-only luncheon featuring Grant Coates, President and CEO of The Miles Foundation, co-founder of the Ft. Worth LLC, and one of Texas’ leading voices in education, philanthropy, and policy.
Grant has spent his career investing in people and ideas that make Texas stronger—building partnerships that expand opportunity, empowering parents, and reshaping how we think about education. In this salon-style conversation, he’ll share lessons from years at the intersection of business, philanthropy, and policy: what it takes to drive lasting change, why school choice matters, and how young leaders can influence the future of Texas education.
From managing a foundation endowment to championing parent-led innovation, Grant brings a rare mix of investment acumen and civic conviction. Expect a candid, practical discussion on leadership, purpose, and how to make your work count for the next generation of Texans.

Lunch will be served and there will be time for open dialogue and questions. Seating is limited to ensure a meaningful exchange—RSVP early!
