Location:Annenberg Presidential Conference Center

Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy, authors of "The Preacher and the Presidents: Billy Graham in the White House," will present the ConocoPhillips White House Lecture Series on Thursday, April 23 at 6:00 pm.

Location:Annenberg Presidential Conference Center
George Bush Presidential Library Foundation
**NOTE: Doors will open at 5:00 pm. Please do not bring backpacks, bags, cameras, or other personal belongings. See below for ticket information.**
George Bush, 41st President of the United States, will present the McLane Leadership in Business Award to Chuck Norris in recognition of Mr. Norris’s achievements as a marti...al arts legend, entrepreneur, and humanitarian. The event on Tuesday, March 31 will begin at 6:00 pm in the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center at the George Bush Presidential Library Center. Autographed copies of Mr. Norris’s most recent book, Black Belt Patriotism: How to Reawaken America, will be available for purchase at the event.
The McLane Award is co-sponsored by the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation and the Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce and serves to recognize the role of prominent individuals for their outstanding contributions in business and public service. The program and award are made possible through an endowment gift from Drayton McLane, owner of the Houston Astros. In addition, Compass Bank is helping to underwrite this year’s event.
A six-time undefeated World Professional Middle Weight Karate Champion, Chuck Norris holds the ranking of an eight-degree Black Belt Grand Master. As a martial arts instructor and advocate, he created the KICKSTART program with the help of President Bush. Focused on character-building and life-skills development in youth, KICKSTART has positively impacted more than 60,000 young people since its inception in 1990, and many of the students have gone on to attend college. Mr. Norris hopes to expand the program nationwide.
As a popular actor worldwide, Chuck Norris starred in the CBS television series, Walker, Texas Ranger, for eight seasons. Still seen by an estimated one billion viewers, the television program airs daily in the United States and many other countries worldwide. Mr. Norris has also appeared in films such as Delta Force, Missing in Action, Lone Wolf McQuade, and Sidekicks.
Mr. Norris served as an Airman First Class in the United States Air Force and has devoted a great amount of time to visiting hospitalized and active troops. He has served as spokesperson for the U.S. Veterans Administration and is a Veteran Foundation’s Veteran of the Year Award recipient. In 2007, he was made an honorary member of the United States Marine Corps in recognition of his visits to troops in Iraq.
Norris is also a New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated columnist. His autobiographical Against All Odds: My Story was published in 2004, and his first book of social commentary, Black Belt Patriotism: How to Reawaken America, was published in 2008.

George Bush, 41st President of the United States, will present the McLane Leadership in Business Award to Chuck Norris in recognition of Mr. Norris’s achievements as a marti...al arts legend, entrepreneur, and humanitarian. The event on Tuesday, March 31 will begin at 6:00 pm in the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center at the George Bush Presidential Library Center. Autographed copies of Mr. Norris’s most recent book, Black Belt Patriotism: How to Reawaken America, will be available for purchase at the event.
The McLane Award is co-sponsored by the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation and the Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce and serves to recognize the role of prominent individuals for their outstanding contributions in business and public service. The program and award are made possible through an endowment gift from Drayton McLane, owner of the Houston Astros. In addition, Compass Bank is helping to underwrite this year’s event.
A six-time undefeated World Professional Middle Weight Karate Champion, Chuck Norris holds the ranking of an eight-degree Black Belt Grand Master. As a martial arts instructor and advocate, he created the KICKSTART program with the help of President Bush. Focused on character-building and life-skills development in youth, KICKSTART has positively impacted more than 60,000 young people since its inception in 1990, and many of the students have gone on to attend college. Mr. Norris hopes to expand the program nationwide.
As a popular actor worldwide, Chuck Norris starred in the CBS television series, Walker, Texas Ranger, for eight seasons. Still seen by an estimated one billion viewers, the television program airs daily in the United States and many other countries worldwide. Mr. Norris has also appeared in films such as Delta Force, Missing in Action, Lone Wolf McQuade, and Sidekicks.
Mr. Norris served as an Airman First Class in the United States Air Force and has devoted a great amount of time to visiting hospitalized and active troops. He has served as spokesperson for the U.S. Veterans Administration and is a Veteran Foundation’s Veteran of the Year Award recipient. In 2007, he was made an honorary member of the United States Marine Corps in recognition of his visits to troops in Iraq.
Norris is also a New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated columnist. His autobiographical Against All Odds: My Story was published in 2004, and his first book of social commentary, Black Belt Patriotism: How to Reawaken America, was published in 2008. This newest book provides his blueprint for the nation’s return to its hard-working, pro-family roots.

Dr. Sheikha Abdulla Al-Misnad, President of Qatar University and the 2009 Lockheed Martin World Scholar-in-Residence, together with Dr. Elsa Murano, President of Texas A&M University, will present a lecture on Tuesday, March 24, 2009. Scheduled to begin at 5:30 pm, the program will take place at the Annenberg Presiden...tial Conference Center at the George Bush Presidential Library Center. Dr. Sheikha and Dr. Murano, each serving as the first female president of her respective university, will discuss education reform in Qatar and participate in an audience question and answer session.
This lecture is co-sponsored by the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation and Texas A&M University’s Lockheed Martin World Scholar-in-Residence program, which was endowed by the Lockheed Martin Corporation to invite prominent international academic and business leaders and public policy makers to visit Texas A&M University and to interact with faculty and students. By inviting such individuals to the campus, Texas A&M University hopes to inspire students and faculty and broaden their global perspective.
Prior to assuming the presidency of Qatar University in 2003, Dr. Sheikha served Qatar University as Vice President for Research and Community, Head of the Department of Foundations of Education, and as a member of the University Council. After receiving her undergraduate training at Qatar University, Dr. Sheikha earned a doctorate in Philosophy of Education from Durham University in the United Kingdom. During her graduate studies, Dr. Sheikha became active in research pertaining to education in the Gulf area, especially in relation to the region’s women. For many years, Dr. Sheikha has been involved in the reform of primary, secondary, and private education in Qatar. In 2003, she was commissioned to lead an extensive reform project to transform Qatar University into a leading regional institution of higher education, and major academic reforms have been initiated in the areas of curricula, programs, and structure. Dr. Sheikha is also a member of the United Nations University Council.
Born in Cuba, Dr. Murano is the first Hispanic-American to assume the presidency of Texas A&M University. Dr. Murano’s association with Texas A&M University dates back to 1995, when she joined the Texas A&M faculty as an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Science. After serving as the Under Secretary for Food Safety for the U.S. Department of Agriculture under President George W. Bush, she returned to Aggieland in January 2005 as Vice Chancellor and Dean of Agriculture and Life Sciences, where she served until being appointed President of Texas A&M University in 2008.
