5 P.M. - Reception
The Bush School’s Mosbacher Institute invites you to the 2024 McLane Leadership in Business Award program honoring Johnny Morris, Founder and Lead Outfitter of Bass Pro Shops. Morris pioneered the concept of destination retail and created an outdoor gear enterprise that is one of the most well-recognized brands in North America. Additionally, he has become one of the nation’s conservation leaders, working to ensure that natural habitats, wildlife and the outdoors remain healthy and abundant for future generations to protect and enjoy.
The annual McLane Leadership in Business Award recognizes a prominent business leader for outstanding contributions in business, public service, or community service at the national level. The award is designed to promote a sense of corporate citizenship, to reinforce the idea that business plays a key role in maintaining the economic, political, and social vitality of our nation. The McLane Leadership in Business Award program was made possible through the generosity of Drayton McLane Jr., chairman of the McLane Group and noted Texas entrepreneur, business leader, and philanthropist.
