Monthly Chamber Luncheon - February 2026

February 5, 2026 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM (CST)

Description

March Matters:
What You Need to Know About the 2026 Primaries

In Texas, the March primary election is often the most consequential election of the cycle, yet it is also the least understood and least participated in. In many districts, the primary effectively determines who will hold office, shaping policy outcomes that directly affect businesses, employees, and local communities.

Join March Matters co-founders Deirdre Walsh and Marjorie Clifton for a practical, nonpartisan briefing designed specifically for Central Texas business and civic leaders. This session will explain why March matters in Texas, what is at stake for employers and inclusive workplaces, and how organizations can engage employees and members with credible, nonpartisan civic education without taking political positions.

This presentation is informational, business-focused, and designed to help leaders navigate civic engagement with confidence and clarity.

📍 Hotel Indigo
📅 Thursday, February 5
🕦 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
🎤 Featuring Deirdre Walsh & Marjorie Clifton
