The Dallas Business Club is guided through the year by a Board of Director group that is made up of two volunteer leaders from each of our member Alumni Clubs.  Board Members meet every other month (next one is January 11) to report on key events, update progress on goals and share ideas for future improvements to the DBC.   All members on the Board are dedicated supporters of the DBC and are part of the Inner Circle Gold group.

The DBC welcomes our newest members to the Board of Directors for 2010:
